Hydrogenated Lecithin

Hydrogenated lecithin is the stabilised form of soy- or sunflower-derived lecithin, whose phospholipids spontaneously form liposomes and lamellar structures in water. As an emulsifier it creates biomimetic lamellar emulsions that mirror the skin’s own lipid organisation — delivering actives deeper while reinforcing the barrier. At 1–5% it improves moisture retention, formula elegance, and the bioavailability of co-formulated actives. The "Haut" suffix in this entry is a German-labelling variant; the molecule is universal. The intelligent choice when a product’s claims rest on delivery technology rather than raw percentages.
