Hydroxyethylcellulose is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose derivative used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a rheology modifier, thickener, and stabilizer. This specific grade (QP-4400-H) offers high viscosity and excellent salt tolerance, making it especially well-suited for surfactant systems, clear gels, shampoos, body washes, and lotions. It helps create smooth textures, suspend particles, and improve application feel without compromising clarity or foaming.

Please Note:

While some of our stock products can be customized with scents, additives, etc., at-home customization should be done at your own risk. We are not liable for formulas that break as a result of customer alterations. Altering cosmetic products is a complex and variable process, and there is not a one size fits all method for the customization of any formula. We encourage you to experiment in small test batches, do outside research before attempting to customize a product, and have your customized product tested at a third party lab to ensure preservation efficacy.
