CAS Number	92128-87-5 [R1–R3]
Commercial form	White powder
Commercial content / assay	98%
Ingredient family	Hydrogenated phospholipid mixture / cosmetic emulsifier
Primary cosmetic functions	Emulsifying, skin conditioning and dispersing [R1]
Formulation behavior	Amphiphilic phospholipid material; can support lamellar and liposome-oriented systems depending on grade and formula [R1,R4–R8]
Intended use	Raw material for cosmetic formulation and product development; not a finished cosmetic

Key Benefits

Supports Stable Emulsion Design: Hydrogenated Lecithin is an emulsifying phospholipid that helps structure creams, lotions and other emulsions. [R1,R3–R6]

Helps Build Lamellar and Liposome-Oriented Systems: Its phospholipids can self-assemble into bilayer, lamellar or liposome-like structures when formulation and processing conditions are suitable. [R1,R4,R7–R8]

Supports Smooth, Cushioned Skin Feel: Hydrogenated phospholipids can support a smooth, cushioned feel in moisturizers and barrier-focused creams. [R4,R8]

Fits Barrier-Support and Hydration-Focused Formulas: A 2023 study of a specific lamellar cream containing a hydrogenated lecithin emulsifier reported reduced TEWL and increased hydration after application.[R5]

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% As co-emulsifier: 0.5% – 1% General recommended range: 0.3% – 5.0% [R5–R6]
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 Do not heat above 80°C — risk of discoloration (reddening) Heating time limit: ≤ 1 hour Add EDTA-2Na to prevent color change [R3,R5,R8]
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.

Recommended Ingredient Pairings

Recommended Ingredient	Why It Pairs Well	Product Concept	Compatibility Note
Ceramide NP	Adds a skin-lipid component that complements phospholipid-based barrier systems.	Barrier cream or lotion	Confirm ceramide dispersion, oil-phase design and final structure.
Cholesterol	Adds a companion lipid for barrier-focused formulas.	Biomimetic barrier cream	Balance with the lipid/emulsifier system; test crystallization and texture.
Squalane	Adds a light emollient phase and smooth skin feel.	Lightweight moisturizer	Screen oil-phase ratio and emulsifier level.
Ectoin	Adds water-phase hydration support alongside the emulsifier system.	Barrier + hydration moisturizer	Confirm hydration order, pH and preservation.
Panthenol	Adds conditioning and comfort for skin or scalp formulas.	Soothing moisturizer or scalp emulsion	Validate pH, viscosity and preservation.

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]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hydrogenated Lecithin?

Hydrogenated Lecithin is hydrogenated lecithin, a complex phospholipid mixture used in cosmetics for emulsifying, skin conditioning and dispersing. [R1]

What does 99% mean for this product?

This product is sold as 99% powder. Confirm the assay basis, phosphatidylcholine content and botanical source on the current specification before R&D or bulk approval.

What are the main formulation benefits?

It helps build emulsions, supports lamellar or liposome-oriented systems, and fits smooth-feel, barrier-focused formulas. [R1,R4–R8]

What use level should I start with?

Screen comparable grades at 1–5%, then use the current TDS to set the final starting level. [R5–R6]

Is Hydrogenated Lecithin added to the oil phase or water phase?

It depends on the grade. Some systems use a heated emulsifier/oil phase; others hydrate phospholipids in water. Follow the supplied TDS. [R1,R3,R7–R8]

Can Hydrogenated Lecithin form liposomes?

Yes, phospholipids can form bilayer/liposomal structures, but formation depends on composition, concentration, process and the full formula. [R1,R4,R7–R8]

Is Hydrogenated Lecithin the same as Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine?

No. They are related but not automatically interchangeable. Confirm the exact INCI and phosphatidylcholine content on the current specification before formula or purchase approval. [R3,R8]
