Overview
INCI: Acrylates Copolymer
CELLOSIZE™ PCG-10 PCG is a hydroxyethyl cellulose thickener recommended for use in formulating personal care and color cosmetics. Upon incorporating into water, this natural cellulose easily disperses and promotes polymer chain entanglement for rapid thickening. It creates pleasing textures and sensory properties suitable for a wide range of products, including shampoos, conditioners, body washes, lotions, creams, cleansers, hair colorants, and more, with compatibility over a broad pH range. It can also help stabilize emulsions, suspend materials, and enhance foam stability.
