Description
Cellulose is a common ingredient added to cosmetic products for the following reasons: 1. Exfoliation: can be used as a soft abrasive agent for removing dead skin cells. 2. Texture provision: provides the desired consistency and texture of the product. 3. Moisturizing: in some cases, cellulose can absorb water and moisture, providing an additional moisturizing effect for the skin. 4. Anti-caking: in cosmetic products that have a thick consistency, cellulose can be used to prevent the components of the product from sticking together, so that they can be evenly distributed when applied. 5. Cost reduction: can be added as an inexpensive filler to some cosmetic products, allowing them to reduce their cost. 6. Natural effect: can give the product a more natural look and feel, helping to meet the demand for natural and organic products.
