HPMC's role in cosmetics mainly includes increasing viscosity, adjusting rheology, moisturizing, stability and improving surface activity.
HPMC, or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, is a natural raw material with low irritation, environmental protection, non-toxicity and safety. Its application in cosmetics is mainly reflected in the following aspects: Increasing viscosity and viscosity: HPMC can form a stable colloid in aqueous solution, with high viscosity and viscosity, which can be used to increase the viscosity and viscosity of the product, and is suitable for products such as lotions, creams, and essences. Moisturizing effect: HPMC has good water solubility, can absorb water and swell and remain moist, and can play a moisturizing role in cosmetics. Stability: HPMC has good stability and can resist the influence of factors such as acid, alkali, high temperature and ions, making the product have better stability and durability. Increasing surface activity: The aqueous solution of HPMC has surface activity, which can increase the activity of the surface, and has the functions of protecting colloids, emulsification and relative stability. In addition, HPMC has the characteristics of thickening ability, salt resistance, pH stability, water retention, dimensional stability, excellent film-forming properties, and a wide range of enzyme resistance, dispersibility and adhesion, making it one of the indispensable ingredients in cosmetics.
