Hydrogenated Phospholipids

Unsaturated phospholipids can be converted into saturated phospholipids by hydrogenation. Hydrogenated phospholipids are versatile excipients for parenteral, oral, and topical applications (e.g. as emulsifiers, dispersants, or liposome builders). Such phospholipids have a higher transition temperature (i.e., the chain melting temperature of the fatty acids’ hydrocarbon chains) compared to their unsaturated counterparts and are therefore suitable to stabilize liposomes. In dermal formulations based on O/W emulsions, hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine forms lamellar structures mimicking the lamellae of the natural skin barrier.

Hydrogenated Soybean Phospholipids
Starting from crude soybean lecithin, purified hydrogenated soybean phospholipids can serve manifold functions in pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications. Products are also available in non-GMO quality.

Hydrogenated Sunflower Phospholipids
Sunflower-derived hydrogenated phospholipids are an excellent alternative for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. These non-GMO plant-derived products meet the high standards set for sustainable natural products.

Hydrogenated Egg Phospholipids
Egg phospholipids are highly purified fractions obtained from hen egg yolk. Hydrogenated egg phospholipids are suitable for parenteral, topical, or oral applications.
