lecithin - a new level of hydration (updated)

Soybeans have so many health benefits, such as the ability to improve your metabolism, defend against cancer, reduce effects of menopause and more. But what if you don’t want to eat them?

Lecithin is derived from soybeans and has excellent skin protecting qualities. It is composed of phosphoric acid, chlorine, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, triglycerides, and phospholipids. It can be found in many forms, such as food, medical products, and skincare.

Its use is so popular in a wide array of products we use every day because it’s a wonderful emulsifier and can also be easily metabolised by humans.

So why is lecithin so popular in our creams?

Lecithin is a natural moisturiser and emollient which is a softening and soothing agent. The extent of its powerful moisturising properties helps to keep the skin hydrated and aids in targeting and treating skin which is particular dry, overworked and ageing. This is why it’s such a perfect ingredient in restorative skincare products, such as our Full Neck Tightening & Firming Treatment.

Lecithin has the incredible and unique ability to penetrate deep into the skin rather than creating a greasy film on your skin, which ultimately allows the product to sink into the skin cells and bloodstream for the most beneficial results.

It has a high content of vitamin E and helps to alleviate dryness and stimulate collagen in the skin so that the face appears more rejuvenated and bright.

Lecithin is present to act as an emulsifier for the product but it also helps to hydrate, replenish and repair the skin due to its essential fatty acid content. It is derived from soybeans with skin protection qualities and acts as a natural moisturiser.

It also has the ability to penetrate the epidermis and carry substances to the right cell level. It is an important source of choline and inositol, which are vital components of all cell membranes and play an important role in cell growth and function.
