Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, water-soluble cellulose ether widely used in cosmetic formulations. Derived from natural cellulose, this cosmetic-grade ingredient acts as a thickener, film former, and stabilizer, providing smooth texture and enhanced application properties in skincare and haircare products. It is safe for external use only and complies with UK cosmetic regulations.

Benefits:

1. Enhances texture and consistency in cosmetic formulations
2. Provides excellent film-forming and moisture-retention properties
3. Stabilizes emulsions and suspensions for longer shelf life
4. Supports smooth application and skin feel
5. Suitable for sensitive skin due to its non-irritant nature
6. Cosmetic grade, ensuring safety and quality for topical use only

How to Use:

• Dissolve HPMC powder in warm water or your aqueous phase during product formulation.
• Stir continuously to avoid lumps and ensure complete hydration.
• Incorporate into your cosmetic product base following the recommended percentage by your formulation guidelines.
• Use externally only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container to maintain product integrity.
