Organic Soy Lecithin Powder

Lecithin is a naturally occurring group of phospholipids that is found in both plants and animal cells. It is widely used within the food and cosmetic industry for its nutritive benefits and as a lipophilic emulsifier, thickener and emollient.

The term lecithin was derived from the Greek word for egg yolk because lecithin was initially discovered upon isolating it from egg yolks. However, it is also present in vegetable sources, with soy being the most concentrated plant-based source of natural lecithin.

Praan Naturals Organic Soy Lecithin Powder is produced from Organic Soy Lecithin by using CO2 supercritical extraction. The CO2 extraction process removes the oil from the lecithin and results in a natural powder consistency that does not require any further processing. The powder is 100% pure and contains no additives.

As with all of our premium quality organic ingredients, Praan Naturals Organic Soy Lecithin Powder is non-GMO. It is certified organic by CCOF, a USDA-accredited organic certifying agency, and it fully meets USDA organic regulations.

Organic Soy Lecithin Powder is highly beneficial for the skin and hair, and it is especially well suited for use in moisturizers, cosmetics, soaps and a wide range of other personal care products. Our range of certified organic liquid and powdered lecithins are highly emollient and can be used as a co-emollient and emulsifier to help thicken and emulsify beauty and personal care formulations.

Lecithin is typically used between 0.5-5% in cosmetic applications to help keep formulations from becoming too heavy or greasy, but the usage ratio can be increased, depending upon your application.

When working with Organic Soy Lecithin Powder, we recommend that you first combine it with a vegetable oil, and then incorporate the lecithin-oil mixture into your formulation.
