Using Soy Lecithin in Formulations

Based on the properties of Soy Lecithin, it is primarily used as an emulsifier in cosmetic formulations, helping to bind oil and water phases together in products like creams and lotions. It is not typically used as a binder in dry formulations like bath bombs or as a fabric softener.

• Bath Bombs: Soy Lecithin, especially the liquid form like Soy Lecithin (Soy Bean Oil, Liquid Lecithin), functions as an emulsifier, not a dry binder. It would not effectively hold the dry ingredients of a bath bomb together in the way that cornstarch or other powder binders do.
• Fabric Softener: Soy Lecithin's function is related to emulsification and skin conditioning in cosmetic applications. It does not possess the properties required to soften fabrics like traditional fabric softeners.

For binding bath bombs, ingredients like cornstarch are suitable. For creating emulsions in creams or lotions, products like Soy Lecithin (Soy Bean Oil, Liquid Lecithin), LeciCream™ (Natural Emulsifier / Cream Maker), or LecithinGel™ are appropriate depending on the desired texture and application.
