ℹ️General Overview
For adults (people, women, men): hydrogenated lecithin is usually safe when used in normal skin creams and lotions. It has low risk for cancer or allergies, but there are notes about contamination and that it can help other ingredients get into your skin.
✅What to Do
Use products from trusted brands that list ingredients and safety testing. Avoid spray forms (to prevent breathing it in). If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test before regular use. Prefer rinse-off products if you are worried about concentration, and avoid using it on broken or irritated skin.

There is a contamination concern specifically about nitrosamines, and reviewers also noted this ingredient can increase skin penetration of other ingredients (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review and ingredient safety notes). Safety when inhaled (sprays) is not well studied, so avoid inhalable products that contain it.
