Lecithin Hx is a powdered substance that is used, among other things, as an emulsifier, ‘refatter’ and humectant (moisturizer).

Use

Lecithin can be used as an addition to creams or other cosmetics. It improves the properties of the protective layer that the cream applies to the skin, for example, it helps to prevent dehydration. It is primarily suitable for products for older or drier skin types, but can also be used with other skin types. Here, a dosage of 1-2 grams per 100 grams of cream is common.

When used as an emulsifier, more is often needed, about 5 grams per 100 grams of cream. Then add the lecithin to the oil phase of the cream.

Lecithin Hx dissolves to a certain extent in oil and fat, it does not dissolve in aqueous products, it is best to mix it with some glycerine first. This mixture of lecithin and glycerine can then be added to, for example, the shower gel.

Store it dry, do NOT store it in the refrigerator. Store it cool, dark and in the well-closed packaging. Keep out of reach of children.

De Hekserij does not sell products that are intended for use in food or for other internal use. This product is NOT an exception.
