Description

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) Powder — Cosmetic Grade

Pure Actives' Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) Powder is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether widely used as a thickener, gelling agent, and rheology modifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Derived from cellulose through hydroxyethylation, HEC disperses and swells in cold or hot water to form clear to slightly hazy, stable gels with excellent film-forming and water-retention properties. Its non-ionic nature makes it compatible with a broad range of cosmetic ingredients including electrolytes, cationic actives, and surfactants — making it one of the most versatile and formulation-friendly hydrocolloids available.

Key Benefits

  • Effective thickener and gelling agent — builds viscosity in aqueous systems
  • Non-ionic — compatible with electrolytes, cationics, and surfactants
  • Forms stable, clear to slightly hazy gels with excellent texture
  • Improves skin feel — smooth, non-tacky application
  • Film-forming properties — enhances water retention and skin hydration
  • Cellulose-derived, cosmetic-grade — well-tolerated and widely used

Suggested Usage & Formulation

Suggested Use & Storage

Disperse HEC powder slowly into cold water while stirring to avoid clumping. Allow to fully hydrate and swell before combining with other ingredients. Use at 0.5–2.0% depending on desired viscosity. For gels, use at 1.0–2.0%; for light lotions and serums, use at 0.5–1.0%. Compatible with most cosmetic actives, electrolytes, and surfactants. Suitable for serums, gels, cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, and body care formulations.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use. MFG: JUL 2026 | EXP: JUL 2028
