Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a versatile, non-ionic, water-soluble polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Derived from natural cellulose, it acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier, enhancing the texture and consistency of products. HEC provides a silky-smooth, non-sticky feel, making it ideal for gels, creams, lotions, shampoos, and serums. It improves water retention, ensuring hydration while boosting the foam stability of cleansers and shampoos. With excellent compatibility across different pH levels and active ingredients, HEC is an essential component for high-performance skincare and haircare products.

How to Use:

1. Dissolve in Water: Slowly add HEC powder to room-temperature or warm water while stirring.
2. Hydration Process: Allow time for complete dispersion and thickening.
3. Blend Well: Mix with other ingredients for a uniform consistency.
4. Apply in Formulations: Use in creams, lotions, serums, shampoos, and styling products.

Benefits:

• Thickens and stabilizes cosmetic formulations.
• Enhances spreadability and texture for smooth application.
• Non-irritating and gentle, ideal for sensitive skin.
• Improves water retention, keeping skin and hair hydrated.
• Boosts foaming properties in shampoos and cleansers.
• Compatible with various pH levels, ensuring formulation stability.
