Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydrogenated lecithin?

Hydrogenated lecithin (CAS 92128-87-5) is the hydrogenated form of lecithin, a phospholipid mixture. It is used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent. RawSource supplies it in bulk for formulators.

What does hydrogenated lecithin do in a formulation?

It acts as an emulsifier that stabilizes oil-in-water systems and as a phospholipid carrier in vesicle (liposome) systems. Hydrogenation increases the saturation of the phospholipids, improving oxidative stability versus standard lecithin.

What is hydrogenated lecithin derived from?

It is produced by hydrogenating lecithin, a phospholipid mixture most commonly sourced from soy or sunflower. Specify your required botanical source when requesting a quote, as it affects the spec.

What is the HS code for hydrogenated lecithin?

It classifies under HS 2923.20 (lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids). Confirm destination-country tariff treatment with your customs broker; RawSource provides documentation per shipment.

What bulk packaging and forms are available?

Hydrogenated lecithin is supplied in powder and other forms depending on grade, in containers sized for manufacturing use. MOQ, lead time, and pricing are quote-based — request a bulk quote with your target volume and source; a CoA and SDS accompany the order.
