What is Sunflower Lecithin?

Sunflower Lecithin is extracted from sunflower seeds and carefully purified to cosmetic quality. This product is a true team player: it brings water and oil together in one formula and ensures the skin feels soft and supple.

Sunflower Lecithin is a thick, dark orange to brown colored liquid with a soft, slightly nutty scent. The scent is so subtle that your own blends and essential oils always remain the star.

This product is packed with substances that resemble the natural fats in the skin. This makes the skin recognize Sunflower Lecithin as familiar. It supports repair, makes the skin softer and helps keep formulas beautifully stable and even.

Sunflower Lecithin is versatile for use in homemade creams, balms, cleansers and makeup. Thanks to its neutral scent and soft feel, this product fits perfectly in simple, skin-friendly recipes.

How do you use Sunflower Lecithin?

• Face: Add 1–3% to the oil phase of a cream or serum for extra softness. For cold processing, first mix with a little vegetable oil.
• Emulsions: Use 0.5–3% together with a main emulsifier. Add to the oil or warm phase and mix at approximately 60–70°C for a stable, creamy texture.
• Cleansers: For milky cleansers or oil cleansers, add 1–3% to the oil phase. This gives a soft, rinsable texture and a fine skin feel after cleansing.
• Balms and body butters: Dose 0.5–2% in the oil phase. This makes the product easier to spread and gives a creamy, nourishing feel on the skin.
• Hair: Mix 1–2% in masks, conditioners or leave-ins for easier combing and more shine. Add to the oil or cool phase and mix thoroughly.
• Tip: This product is thick and can become even thicker when cool. Light heating makes dosing much easier. Essential oils maximum 1% of the total formula and never pure on the skin.
