characteristic:
HEC Hydroxyethylcellulose is also known as high molecular cellulose (or high molecular polymer)
The raw material is made of natural plant fiber modification, which has excellent slippery feeling! But to be honest, I personally don’t like it.
It is a white (yellow) powder, a non-ionic water-soluble polymer compound, which can be used as a thickener and suspending agent
It is easier to operate in hot water than cold water, it must be kept stirring, and the PH value is maintained above 6 and it is easier to dissolve
Usually used in various beauty and cleaning products, it has a touch similar to hyaluronic acid, the finished product is more transparent, and the acid resistance is the highest
Liquid Soap Thickening:
Use 1-2% concentration, add 1g of Hydroxyethylcellulose to 99g of distilled water and stir, please stir it every 5-10 minutes while waiting, do not let the powder material settle, until the gel is transparent, then add Stir in liquid soap.
Cosmetic application:
1. Hydroxyethylcellulose can be used to make transparent colloids, which are generally used in the production of high-grade essences, gels, facial masks, and shampoos.
2. It can be used as a suspending and thickening agent for cream products to adjust the quality and consistency of cream products.
Notes for use:

3. Usage rate: 0.5~2% essence; 3~5% gel.
4. PH range: acid resistant to PH3 and 25% alcohol.
5. Others: It will not be affected by other ionic materials.
