Product Description

Modified HE-Cellulose

Product Description

Modified HE-Cellulose is a chemically modified derivative of hydroxyethyl cellulose, a natural polymer derived from plant sources. Through functional group modification, it gains enhanced properties such as improved solubility, stability, and compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients. This makes it a versatile ingredient in personal care formulations.
Upgrade your cosmetic formulations with Cosmetic Grade HE - Cellulose, Modified, a high-performance, plant-derived ingredient designed to optimize texture, stability, and sensory appeal. Modified HE - Cellulose acts as a superior thickener, film-former, and water-retention agent, making it ideal for creams, lotions, serums, and hair care products.
Specially engineered for cosmetic applications, HE - Cellulose, Modified ensures smooth, non-greasy application, enhanced viscosity control, and improved shelf life. Its excellent compatibility with other ingredients allows for versatile use in both rinse-off and leave-on products, while its natural origin supports clean, sustainable beauty standards.

Key Benefits

🧪

Superior Thickening & Emulsion Stability

Provides adjustable viscosity to creams, gels, and lotions, ensuring stable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions. Prevents phase separation in high-oil formulations (e.g. sunscreen lotions).

🌡️

pH & Temperature Stability

Maintains performance across a broad pH range (3–10), suitable for acidic and alkaline products. Stable at processing temperatures up to 60°C.

🤝

Enhanced Compatibility

Works synergistically with surfactants, preservatives, and active ingredients. Reduces tackiness in formulations, improving spreadability and skin/hair feel.

🌿

Eco-Friendly & Safe

Derived from renewable plant sources, supporting clean beauty and sustainable formulations. Low irritation potential, suitable for sensitive skin.

📏 Recommended Use

The dosage of HE-Cellulose, Modified varies according to different functions:
  • Thickening & Emulsion Stabilization: 0.2–1.0% (higher doses for creams, lower for serums).
  • Suspension Aid: 0.1–0.5% (for clay masks or exfoliants).
  • Film-forming: 0.05–0.3% (for hair care styling hold).
Application Method: Pre-disperse in glycerin or water through gentle stirring to avoid clumping before adding to the formulation. Can be incorporated into the aqueous phase during emulsification or added directly to pre-mixed systems.
