Description
Microcrystalline Cellulose is a plant-based component used in cosmetic formulas as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It is added to various types of products to improve texture and consistency. Microcrystalline Cellulose has moisture retention properties which help to provide skin hydration. It can also help to keep active ingredients in cosmetic products on the surface of the skin, providing better efficacy. Being colorless and odorless, microcrystalline cellulose does not affect the color, scent, and other properties of cosmetic products.
