Hydroxyethylcellulose

HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE

About this ingredient

Hydroxyethylcellulose is a non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose that functions as a thickener, film-former, and stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. It increases viscosity and creates a smooth texture in lotions, gels, and serums while providing mild skin conditioning properties. It also helps stabilize emulsions and suspensions without leaving a heavy residue.
