HPC (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose) is an ideal multifunctional additive for personal care formulations. It dissolves quickly in cold water, offers high clarity, and is mild and non-irritating. Acting as a thickener, stabilizer and film-former, it improves product texture, creates rich foam, and forms a breathable film on skin for long-lasting moisturization without stickiness.
Product Introduction
HPC, short for hydroxypropyl cellulose, is a non-ionic cellulose polymer produced from natural cellulose (such as cotton fiber and wood pulp) through an alkaline catalytic reaction with propylene oxide. Its chemical structure uses cellulose glucose units as the backbone, with some hydroxyl groups replaced by hydroxypropyl groups (-OCH₂CH(OH)CH₃). The degree of substitution (DS) is typically between 0.2 and 1.0, and the molecular weight ranges widely (from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands), allowing for adjustment according to requirements.
Key Functions & Benefits
Thickening & Stabilizing
Increases viscosity, prevents stratification and sedimentation, keeping products uniform and stable
Film-forming Properties
Forms transparent, flexible films for preservation, moisture retention and enhanced gloss
Moisture Retention
Effectively locks in moisture, improves texture and extends shelf life
Emulsification & Dispersion
Facilitates uniform mixing of oil and water phases for stable emulsions
Advantages in Personal Care & Cosmetics
HPC offers excellent thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties in personal care formulations. It dissolves easily in cold water, produces clear, smooth gels, and enhances skin feel without tackiness. It improves foam stability in cleansers and shampoos, boosts spreadability in creams and lotions, and helps lock in moisture. Chemically stable and compatible with most ingredients, it prevents separation and extends shelf life.
Applications: Facial masks, gels, shampoos, toothpastes, skincare, haircare, and oral care products
