Abstract: A soybean lecithin based topical liniment and method of making the same is disclosed. The liniment utilizes soybean lecithin as a base and major ingredient and as the emulsifier which is mixed with plant oils, natural menthol, calcium stearate, and magnesium stearate. The soybean lecithin, plant oils, natural menthol, calcium stearate, and magnesium stearate are mixed together in predetermined relative proportions with the amount of soybean lecithin being greater than the sum of the amounts of the plant oils, natural menthol, calcium stearate, and magnesium stearate. The soybean lecithin, plant oils, natural menthol, calcium stearate, and magnesium stearate are added to one another and mixed together in a predetermined sequence to prevent precipitation and provide a homogenous mixture having a viscosity suitable for topical application.
