Phospholipids – Cosmetic Uses in Skin Conditioning and Emulsions
What Are Phospholipids?
Phospholipids are a class of lipids and a major structural component of cell membranes. They can form lipid bilayers and typically contain a diglyceride, a phosphate group and an organic molecule such as choline.
Cosmetic Uses of Phospholipids
In cosmetic formulations, phospholipids are used primarily for skin conditioning. Their amphiphilic structure also allows them to interact with both oil and water phases, making them useful as emulsifying ingredients.
Phospholipids can help disperse or solubilise oils in water-based systems and are therefore used in a range of skin care formulations where both conditioning and formulation stability are important.
