LANDERCOLL supplies personal care grade HEC, HPMC, and selected CMC for brands and manufacturers producing shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser, hand soap, lotion, cream, toothpaste, styling products, and cosmetic formulations.
Cellulose ethers help control viscosity, improve texture, stabilize suspended ingredients, and support smooth application — across rinse-off, leave-on, oral care, and styling product formats.
Shampoo · Body Wash · Lotion · Toothpaste · Styling
Personal care brands need ingredients that help create stable, pleasant, and consistent products. In shampoos, cleansers, body wash, hand soap, lotions, creams, toothpaste, and styling products, cellulose ether can help adjust viscosity, improve texture, stabilize suspended ingredients, support smooth application, and improve product appearance.
LANDERCOLL provides selected HEC, HPMCy CMC for personal care manufacturers and private label brands developing rinse-off, leave-on, oral care, styling, and decorative cosmetic formulations.
Cellulose ether selection should consider product type, target viscosity, surfactant system, emulsion type, pH, electrolyte level, sensory feel, clarity requirement, fragrance compatibility, preservative system, and storage stability target.
Eight personal care product types · HEC, HPMC, and selected CMC · 25 kg/bag industrial packaging · 0.1%–1.5% typical dosage · TDS, SDS, COA, and application guides available · export documents on request.
Cellulose ether is used in personal care products to help control viscosity, texture, flow behavior, product stability, and application feel. Without suitable thickening and stabilizing support, products may become too thin, separate during storage, show poor suspension, feel inconsistent, or fail to deliver the desired consumer experience.

Practical advantages cellulose ether brings to personal care product development, packaging, and consumer experience.
Helps create smoother and more consistent product texture, supporting better consumer experience in cleansing, skin care, oral care, and styling products.
A suitable grade helps achieve target viscosity for dispensing, spreading, application, and packaging — from lightweight lotions to structured styling gels.
Products containing particles, pigments, abrasives, or actives may need suspension support. Cellulose ether can help reduce settling risk and maintain uniformity in selected systems.
A uniform appearance is important at point of sale and throughout shelf life. Cellulose ether helps support product consistency and storage stability.
LANDERCOLL can recommend HEC, HPMC, or selected CMC grade directions based on product format, surfactant system, and formulation target.
LANDERCOLL can discuss viscosity targets, texture goals, and grade options for your personal care system.
Ask for Personal Care Grade RecommendationBefore selecting a cellulose ether grade for production, personal care brands should test it in the final formulation and under real process conditions. Performance in a reference test may differ from performance in a specific surfactant, electrolyte, and preservative combination.

Sample and quotation communication for evaluation
HEC, HPMC, and selected CMC products may be used in personal care formulations to support viscosity control, texture, suspension stability, product body, and formulation consistency. HEC is the most commonly used grade in water-based systems such as shampoo, body wash, and facial cleanser. HPMC may be used in selected cleansing, gel, and cream formulations. CMC is used in selected oral care and toothpaste applications.
HEC helps improve viscosity, smooth texture, water-based thickening, suspension stability, and product consistency in selected personal care formulations. It is non-ionic, water-soluble, and compatible with a wide range of surfactants — suitable for shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser, hand soap, lotion, and styling products.
Yes. HPMC may be used in selected personal care products where viscosity control, product body, smooth texture, and stable flow behavior are required. It can be useful in cleansing gels, styling products, creams, and selected specialty formulations. Final compatibility should always be confirmed through testing.
