Science & Benefits

Lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids that mimic the skin's own cellular membranes. It acts as an emollient and a superior penetration enhancer (liposomal delivery). While it has a low comedogenic rating of 2, its 'Good' rating is based on its ability to repair a damaged barrier. In 2026 acne formulations, Hydrogenated Lecithin is preferred as it is more stable and less prone to oxidation within the follicle.
