- Helps build stable, well-structured cosmetic emulsions. [R1,R3–R6]
- Supports lamellar and liposome-oriented systems when the complete formula is designed for self-assembly. [R1,R4–R8]
- Useful in creams where smooth skin feel and barrier-supportive formulation are priorities. [R4–R5,R8]
- Pack sizes: 10 g / 25 g / 100 g / 500 g / 1 kg, with larger quantities by bulk quote.

Key Benefits
Why Formulators Choose Hydrogenated Lecithin Powder
- Hydrogenation improves heat and oxidation resistance versus conventional lecithin, supporting more stable structured systems. [R3–R4]
- Comparable cosmetic grades are often screened at 1–5%. [R5–R6]
- Phosphatidylcholine content can change emulsification behavior and lamellar or liposomal structure. [R3,R5,R8]
- Powder format gives R&D teams direct control over the emulsifier system.
Typical Applications
- Barrier-support and ceramide-focused creams
- Moisturizers, lotions and gel-creams
- Lamellar / liquid-crystal emulsion systems
- Liposome-oriented serums and active-delivery development
- Eye creams, masks and premium skin-care emulsions
Quick Formulation Guide
|
Decision Point |
Practical Buyer Guidance |
|
Typical use level |
As sole emulsifier: 3% |
|
Phase / dispersion |
Pre-disperse in oil phase or water phase before adding to bulk — powder does not dissolve directly in water at room temperature [R1,R3,R7–R8] |
|
Processing |
Heat oil or water phase to 70°C – 80°C, then add powder and stir for ~20 min |
|
pH |
Recommended finished formula pH: 5.0 – 7.0 |
|
Compatibility |
Screen the oil phase, co-emulsifiers, thickeners, electrolytes and active load; these can change structure and viscosity. [R5] |
|
Storage / handling |
Keep tightly sealed and dry. |
Why Source From Us
- Start with samples scale to bulk orders – one supplier from trial to production: Validate with lab samples, then scale to commercial volumes – same quality, same team. No re-qualification, no project delays.
- Formulation support that actually helps – not just a data sheet: We give you hands-on guidance on solubility, temperature, pH, and compatibility. A real formulation partner, not a catalog.
- Reliable supply chain – consistent quality, on-time delivery, batch after batch: Own manufacturing facilities plus long-term partnerships with audited upstream producers ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Full documentation with every shipment. No "sample passes, bulk fails"
- Export-ready documentation – compliance, customs, cleared：Complete technical documentation packages – COA, MSDS, TDS, stability data – batch-specific and regulatory-ready. We handle the paperwork so your compliance and procurement teams can focus on formulation

Scientific Evidence Snapshot
CIR lists Hydrogenated Lecithin as a cosmetic phosphoglyceride used for emulsifying and skin conditioning, and concluded the reviewed phosphoglycerides are safe in the assessed practices of use and concentration. [R1]
A 2023 finished-formula study using a specific Hydrogenated Lecithin grade with Tween 80 formed liquid-crystalline structures and improved hydration and TEWL measurements. The result applies to that tested cream system. [R5]
