Product Information
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is a versatile, water-soluble cellulose derivative used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as a thickener, viscosity modifier, film former and stabilizer. It helps improve product texture, consistency and formulation stability.
HPMC is a non-ionic, modified cellulose polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations. It is available in different grades with varying viscosity and methoxy/hydroxypropoxy substitution levels, allowing formulators to select the appropriate grade for the desired texture and performance. USP
When dispersed in water, HPMC hydrates and develops viscosity, helping create smooth and stable creams, gels, lotions and cleansing formulations. It also provides film-forming, emulsifying, suspending and stabilizing properties, making it useful across a wide range of personal-care applications.
