Description

Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose is a derivative of cellulose, a modified polymer used in cosmetics as a thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and texture enhancer. It helps to create a uniform consistency in creams, lotions, and other products, improves the feel upon application, gives products a pleasant texture, and increases their stability. Additionally, it can form a moisturizing and protective film on the skin.
