HPMC is widely used in the cosmetic industry for its thickening, emulsifying, and film-forming properties. Its viscoelasticity contributes to product stability and improves the application experience for consumers. In creams and lotions, HPMC creates a pleasant texture that allows for smooth application and enhances skin feel. It is also used in gel formulations, such as hair gels and facial cleansers, where it provides the necessary viscosity while ensuring the product remains easy to spread.


  • HPMC is produced by the reaction of cellulose with propylene oxide and methyl chloride. This modification process introduces hydroxypropyl and methyl groups into the cellulose structure. The extent of substitution of these groups can vary, leading to different grades of HPMC. Each grade has distinct characteristics, such as solubility in water, viscosity, and thermal stability, making it suitable for tailored applications.
