Secrets to Making Homemade Skin Cream Based on Lecithin
Today I’m going to share with you my secret for creating homemade skin cream based on lecithin with the help of the “cold” method. I love this method because you don’t need to heat the oils and water in order to mix them as in the traditional method, so it will save you time. You can simply add all of the ingredients to the bowl at once and mix, and there is no need to add them step by step, which makes it very simple. So now, here is a little about the benefits of lecithin, and later, I will reveal to you the secret recipe: Lecithin is extracted for cosmetic purposes from the egg yolks of chicken, sunflower seeds, and soybeans. More widely available is soy lecithin, which is a mixture of 65% natural phospholipids, 30 to 35% soybean oil, a small amount of glycerol, ethanolamine, galactose, B vitamins, biotin, and choline. In skin care products, lecithin is used as an active additive and an emulsifier. As an active additive in cosmetics, lecithin is used for softening, toning, and moisturizing, which will promote the restoration of the barrier function of the skin to prevent moisture loss from the deeper layers of the complexion. Lecithin is especially effective in combination with vitamins A, D, F, B1, B6, and PP. Lecithin promotes the deeper penetration of fat and biologically active substances into the epidermis. It also reduces inflammation and irritation in the skin, stimulates cell regeneration, improves skin texture, and prevents the formation of wrinkles. The lecithin is an antioxidant, which also protects the skin from the negative effects of free radical damage. Lecithin can be used for all skin types. As an active additive, it should be used in 0.5% to 3% concentrations, and as an emulsifier at 3% to 20%. In skin creams, lecithin can be somewhat sticky and oily, but it absorbs well. Some do not find the smell of lecithin pleasing, but the smell will disappear after you add a few drops of essential oil. So that’s it for the theory, let’s prepare our working space for the practice!How does lecithin benefit the skin?
Here is the recipe on how to use lecithin for your beauty purposes:
