SUNFLOWER LECITHIN
INCI Name: Lecithin CAS Number: 8002-43-5

Product Description
Sunflower Lecithin is a natural, plant-derived phospholipid emulsifier extracted from sunflower seeds. It’s a non-GMO, non-ionic, and biodegradable ingredient that offers excellent emollient, hydrating, and stabilizing properties. Rich in phosphatidylcholine, it helps restore the skin’s lipid barrier, making it ideal for dry, damaged, or mature skin.

Unlike soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin is allergen-free, making it suitable for sensitive formulations and clean beauty products.
