- Maufacture Information
Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a versatile, plant-derived cellulose polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Known for its excellent thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties, it helps improve the texture, appearance, and performance of a wide range of skincare and haircare products.
This non-ionic ingredient disperses easily in water to create smooth, clear to slightly hazy gels with a pleasant skin feel. It is valued by formulators for its compatibility with various surfactants and cosmetic ingredients, making it suitable for modern, sophisticated formulations.
Cosmetic grade Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose is commonly used to enhance viscosity, control flow, and support uniform ingredient distribution while maintaining a lightweight, non-sticky finish in both rinse-off and leave-on products.
