In personal care
Lecithin, a fat-like substance found in plant seeds (often soy or sunflower) and egg yolks, that has been chemically hydrogenated to make it more stable and less prone to oxidation.
Why it’s used
Used as an emollient and conditioning agent, and sometimes as part of an emulsifying system, because it helps bind oil and water components and leaves skin feeling smooth.
What the evidence says
We haven’t found a source for this one that you can open and check, so we’re not summarizing the evidence.
Look it up yourself
We would rather point you at the shelf than summarize something you can’t check. These are the same places we search:
- PubChem — what the substance is, chemically — names, synonyms and structure
- PubMed — every paper indexed by the US National Library of Medicine that names it
These are starting points, not our findings — we haven’t run them for you. A substance whose name is also an ordinary word (“Heart”, “Alanine”, “Water”) will return papers that are not about the ingredient at all.
