INCI Name: Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a high purity, water-soluble, non-ionic cellulose ether designed for use in a broad range of personal care applications such as shampoos, body washes, shower gels and shaving creams. HPMC functions as a thickener, lather enhancer, lather stabilizer, water-binder, film-former, as well as a co-suspending and co-emulsifying agent. Importantly, Humulzy HPMC is produced from cellulose – an abundant and renewable raw material source.
