Product Overview

CELLOSIZE™ PCG-10 PCG is a hydroxyethyl cellulose thickener for personal care and color cosmetics. It disperses easily in water, creating a network of entangled polymer chains for rapid thickening. This natural cellulose produces pleasing textures and sensory properties, making it suitable for various products like shampoos, lotions, and hair colorants. It also stabilizes emulsions, suspends materials, and enhances foam stability across a broad pH range
