Epikuron™, Topcithin™ and Lecigran™ Lecithins

Cargill's pharmaceutical lecithin products are isolated from soy.

Many liquid and topical formulations are emulsions that contain two immiscible phases. Our lecithins are interface active and an effective way to keep oil-in-water as well as water-in-oil emulsions stable, preventing separation of the phases. Suspensions can also be stabilized by lecithins.
