INCI: Lecithin

Essentially Natural Liquid Soy Lecithin is a viscous, oil-phase ingredient used as a skin conditioning agent and co-emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care products. It is often preferred over powdered lecithin for ease of handling and incorporation into formulations. Liquid lecithin can help support smooth-feeling emulsions and is especially useful in thinner or more fluid emulsion types where some emulsifiers struggle. This ingredient is GMO free, cosmetic grade, and food safe.

Can one drink it for cholesterol

Essentially Natural

Hi there Wena,

Thanks so much for your question!

Our Liquid Soy Lecithin is food safe, so it can be consumed. Lecithin is often included in foods and supplements aimed at supporting healthy cholesterol balance - it's been found to help maintain normal cholesterol levels by assisting the body in breaking down and mobilising fats.

That said, everyone’s body is different and we’re not able to provide medical advice. If you’re considering using lecithin specifically to help with cholesterol management, it’s best to chat with your healthcare provider to make sure it’s the right fit for your needs. <3

We hope that helps. Please reach out if you have any further queries.

Warm regards,
Aiden
