KimaCell® HEC HS150000 Hydroxyethyl cellulose is used in many fields of skin care.HEC has excellent solubility resistance to electrolytes, and its solution is stable under high-concentration salts. It is the best choice to use HEC as a thickener for soap-based shower gels. The viscosity specification of this type of HEC is 150,000mPa.S, The solubility of the disinfectant and bactericide added to the hand sanitizer in the aqueous solution is very different, and the use of HEC can form a uniform and stable emulsified system. HEC can emulsify, thicken and stabilize in oil/water or water/oil cream skin care products. The dosage is 0.1% to 0.5%.
