A phospholipid that does double duty
Lecithin belongs to the same family of molecules that make up cell membranes, which explains its affinity for skin. As an emulsifier it binds oil and water. As a conditioning agent it softens the surface. And because it forms liposome-like structures, formulators also use it to carry other ingredients more evenly through a product.
Tinted mineral sunscreens are full of it, including Intellishade Original SPF 45, Intellishade TruPhysical SPF 45 and Intellishade Matte SPF 45. It also appears in SkinBetter Science Alto and Alastin Skincare Restorative Skin Complex.
Is lecithin suitable for oily or breakout-prone skin?
Usually yes at the low levels used in skincare, though it is a lipid, so very oily skin sometimes prefers a gel or fluid format. The tinted SPF fluids in this collection are a reasonable middle ground.
