Cosmetic-grade hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is specifically designed by Xingzhenghe Chemical for the cosmetic and detergent product industry. It is a white or slightly yellowish powder that is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. It dissolves in cold water and organic solvent mixtures to form a transparent, viscous solution. The product disperses rapidly in cold water, but its viscosity increases over time, reaching its maximum value after approximately 40 minutes; The aqueous solution exhibits surfactant properties, high transparency, and strong stability, with dissolution in water unaffected by pH.
Cosmetic-grade hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a non-ionic thickening agent that can be widely applied in various cosmetic and detergent formulations, including systems containing high levels of electrolytes and surfactants as a rheology modifier, while maintaining stability across a broad pH range. Compared to HEC, HPMC exhibits superior electrolyte resistance and better skin feel. Compared to CMC, HPMC offers superior storage stability and a longer shelf life.
