Product Info:
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer used as a thickener, film-former, and stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. It provides a smooth, non-tacky texture while enhancing viscosity and improving product spreadability. HEC is ideal for gels, lotions, shampoos, and creams, offering excellent stability in a wide pH range and compatibility with surfactants and active ingredients.

Formulation Guidelines:

• Disperse slowly into water with gentle stirring to prevent clumping.
• Allow sufficient hydration time before adjusting pH or adding additional ingredients.
• Suitable for gels, creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and cleansers.
• Works well with surfactants and emulsifiers for enhanced stability.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain effectiveness.
