  What emulsifier endogenous to the human body would you use?

  Posted by Zink on June 28, 2016 at 6:22 am

  Mostly out of curiosity, but could be good for the skin for what I know. What molecule or set of molecules that exist in the human body would you use as a oil in water emulsifier?

  Bile?

  OK, I really had to think on this one, but after some brainstorming I believe Lecithin is both endogenous to human skin and an emulsifier. What do you guys think?

  Lecithin indeed, egg lecithin is the closest structurally to what you find in the human body I believe.  But maybe there are some other options too
