Phosphatidylcholine is the most common phospholipid in the cell membranes of the body.
In skincare, it is used as a building block of the special delivery spheres called liposomes, which have the ability to deliver active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin.
It is usually produced from soybeans and can be used to create and stabilize emulsions.
