Hydrogenated Lecithin
Hydrating
These ingredients help hydrate the skin by either drawing in moisture or preventing it from escaping. They’re often used to keep skin feeling soft, smooth, and well-balanced.
Explained
Hydrogenated Lecithin is created from the hydrogenation of lecithin (a group of phospholipids). Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between hydrogen and another element.
This ingredient is an emollient and emulsifier. As an emollient, it helps soften skin by trapping moisture within. As an emulsifier, it prevents oil and water ingredients from separating.
