About Hydroxybutyl Methylcellulose

Hydroxybutyl Methylcellulose is the butylene glycol ether of methylcellulose.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help formula ingredients bind together and maintain their form, keep emulsions of water and oil from separating easily during storage, and form a thin film on the skin, hair, and nail surfaces after application.[2] It is also used to help keep the formula's state and properties from changing easily during storage and to adjust the formula's viscosity and flow.[2]
