Overview
INCI: Acrylates Copolymer
CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH PCG is a natural hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) rheology modifier for water-based systems that easily disperses with mild agitation and provides a high degree of solution clarity. It helps formulation to rapidly build viscosity and enhances the sensory experience for shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, body washes, lotions, creams, and more. This thickening agent offers versatility and tolerance for ease of use with exceptional compatibility with a range of pH conditions, surfactants, and other formulation ingredients, such as inorganic salts, resins, and gums.
