Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) – Product Introduction

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, non-ionic cellulose ether widely used in personal care, cosmetics, and home care formulations. It is derived from natural cellulose and modified to provide excellent thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties.

HPMC dissolves easily in water to form a clear or slightly translucent solution, helping to improve product texture, viscosity, and stability. It is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including surfactants, salts, and active components, making it suitable for various formulation systems.

In personal care products, HPMC contributes to a smooth application, enhanced foam stability, and a pleasant skin and hair feel. It is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, creams, lotions, and gels.
