Description

Natrosol (Hydroxyethylcellulose) Powder

Thickener

Cellulose thickener for clear gels and emulsions.

TECHNICAL DATA
INCI name  Hydroxiethylcellulose. (Natrosol 250)
FUNCTION
Thickener
APPLICATIONS
GelsShampooCreamsLotions

One of its main applications is in liquid soaps or gels, serums, deodorants and acidic products in which other thickeners cannot be used because they are sensitive to pH changes.

DESCRIPTION
TROCHEV

Its main function is as a thickener; its key advantages are that it can build high viscosity, gives clear products, is compatible with surfactants and does not sacrifice foaming power in finished products. Thanks to its water-binding ability it gives a soft feel. It can replace chlorides as thickeners, making formulas gentler on the skin.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 0.5 – 3.0%
How to use and incorporate: Premix with glycerin, propylene glycol or butylene glycol (1 part gum to 3–5 parts polyol) and disperse in the water while stirring; let hydrate 20–30 minutes until a gel forms.
Formulation tips:
  • Carbomers lose viscosity with electrolytes and at acidic pH; add salts, extracts and acidic actives carefully.
  • To suspend particles (exfoliants, beads), a thickener with yield value is required, such as carbomer or xanthan gum.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with most humectants, water-soluble actives and preservatives. Check compatibility with surfactants and salts.
Storage: In closed jars, in a cool, dry place. PRECAUTIONS: wear latex gloves and a face mask.
Precautions: Avoid inhaling the powder. Powder spills with water are very slippery.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
