The present invention relates to compositions primarily comprised of phospholipids, commercially known as lecithin, wherein the phospholipids form a solid mass - a liquid crystal phospholipid (LCP)- without the use of emulsifiers or other ingredients which are typically used as carriers for phospholipids. The invention also relates to the methods for making the phospholipid compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to a physical form a phospholipids and its use as a topical cosmetic skin bar, as a nutrient supplement or as a pharmaceutical dosage form if taken orally. Regardless of the exact shape of the new phospholipid composition, it comprises an amount of phospholipid equal to at least about 20 % by weight of the total product. The new composition of the phospholipids appears as a solid which is produced by subjecting granular or powdered phospholipids to high levels of pressure which result in the formation of the solid phospholipid composition. |
