Oil for Dissolving Soy Lecithin
Question
According to the provided instructions stating that Soy Lecithin should be dissolved in the oil phase at 80°C, which type of oil should be used for dissolving it?
Answer
Oil for Dissolving Soy Lecithin
Based on the information, Soy Lecithin (specifically the liquid form, such as Soy Lecithin (Soy Bean Oil, Liquid Lecithin)) is designed to be dissolved in the oil phase of your formulation. You should heat the oil phase to around 80°C to help it dissolve.
There isn't one single specific oil required. You can use various cosmetic oils or emollients that are part of your formulation's oil phase. Examples include mineral oil, vegetable oils (like Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil), or synthetic esters (like Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, or LipidSoft™ types).
Another option based on Hydrogenated Lecithin is LeciCream™, which is dispersed in the oil phase and acts as a natural emulsifier.
Remember to follow the recommended usage rate for the specific type of Soy Lecithin or Lecithin-based emulsifier you are using.
