Overview of Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose

Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose is a water-soluble, non-ionic polymer widely used as a thickener, stabiliser, and rheology modifier in personal care and cosmetic formulations. It appears as a fine, white powder and is valued for its ability to enhance viscosity while maintaining clarity in formulations.

In cosmetic and personal care products, Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose is commonly used in shampoos, conditioners, lotions, creams, and gels to improve texture, stability, and application feel. It works well alongside ingredients such as Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, and other surfactants to produce smooth, stable, and easy-to-apply formulations.
