Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) for daily chemical products is a multifunctional chemical additive widely used in personal care and cleaning products.

Thickener and stabilizer: HPMC is often used as a thickener in daily chemical products to increase the viscosity of the liquid, making the product smoother, more stable and less likely to flow when used. For example, in shampoo, shower gel and lotion, it can increase the viscosity of the product and enhance the user experience.

Film-forming property: HPMC has good film-forming property and can form a protective film on the skin and hair, which helps prevent water loss and plays a moisturizing and isolating role. This is especially useful in skin care and hair care products, which can provide a layer of protection without affecting the skin’s breathing.

Good dispersibility and solubility: HPMC is easily soluble in water, can be dispersed quickly, and will not form lumps. It can ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and improve the stability of the product. During the production process, HPMC can be well integrated with other ingredients to improve the quality and consistency of the product.

Gentle and non-irritating: As a natural cellulose derivative, HPMC is mild to the skin and eyes and does not cause irritation, so it is suitable for use in sensitive skin and eye products.

Low dosage, high efficiency: HPMC has a low dosage, but can provide significant thickening effect and is highly economical. Therefore, in formula design, adding an appropriate amount can achieve the desired effect without increasing the cost burden.

Application examples
Skin care: Adding HPMC to creams and lotions can improve the moisturizing effect of the product and enhance the skin barrier function.
Cleansing: In facial cleansers and shampoos, HPMC not only plays a thickening role, but also makes the product easier to apply evenly and enhances the stability of the foam.
Makeup: In products such as mascara and eye shadow, HPMC helps the product adhere more evenly to the skin and improves the makeup lasting effect.

As an additive for daily chemical products, HPMC has the characteristics of thickening, film-forming, good dispersibility, mild and low irritation, and is suitable for use in personal care and cleaning products. By optimizing the formula and adding ingredients, the product’s usage experience and stability can be significantly improved, meeting the needs of modern consumers for mild, safe and efficient products.
