Description
Cellulose is an organic compound derived from the walls of plant cells. Similar to its structural supportive function in plants, cellulose is used in skin care as a universal emulsifier that helps to stabilize solutions with different solubilities. In cosmetics, cellulose is important for improving the consumer's experience of applying the product. It can be used as a suspending agent to increase the smoothness of creams, as a film former for applying a thin layer of nail polish, or as an anti-caking agent for cosmetic bases. In addition, it is known that cellulose has strong moisturizing properties that help to increase the amount of moisture in the skin.
