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.
