Lecithin

Liquid soy lecithin is a natural emulsifier extracted from soy beans (Glycine max). It appears as a thick, amber-coloured liquid with a mild nutty odour and is made up of phospholipids, glycolipids and triglycerides. Lecithin is widely used across food, supplement, cosmetic and skincare manufacturing because of its ability to bind oil and water, stabilise emulsions and extend shelf life.
