What is Sunflower Lecithin?

Sunflower Lecithin is extracted from sunflower seeds and carefully purified to cosmetic grade. 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 liquid with a soft, lightly nutty scent. The fragrance is so subtle that custom blends and essential oils always remain the star.

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

How to use Sunflower Lecithin?

• Face: Add 1-3% to the oil phase of a cream or serum for extra softness. With cold processing, first mix with a little plant oil.
• Emulsions: Use 0.5-3% together with a primary emulsifier. Add to the oil or warm phase and mix at around 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 nice 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, nourished 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 well.
• Tip: This product is thick and can become even thicker in cold weather. Warming it slightly makes dosing much easier. Essential oils maximum 1% of the total formula and never pure on the skin.
