FAQs
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a versatile ingredient used as a thickener, stabilizer, and adhesive in many industries. It’s commonly found in water-based paints, cosmetics (like creams, shampoos, and toothpaste), construction materials (like cement and mortar), oil drilling fluids, inks, textiles, papermaking, and even food products as a stabilizer. Its ability to thicken, retain moisture, and stabilize makes it ideal for improving product performance across these applications.
Yes, TENESSY™ HEC is safe for skin when used in cosmetics and personal care products like face washes, creams, and masks. It’s a non-ionic, water-soluble ingredient that’s gentle and widely used in formulations to provide a smooth texture and better application. Always ensure products meet industry safety standards and regulations for skin contact.
TENESSY™ HEC is derived from cellulose, a natural component found in plant cell walls, making it naturally sourced. However, it undergoes chemical processing to become a non-ionic cellulose ether, which enhances its performance for industrial and cosmetic uses. This combination of natural origins and advanced processing ensures high quality and versatility.
Yes, HEC is excellent for hair care products like shampoos, conditioners, and styling gels. It acts as a thickener, giving products a smooth, creamy texture that’s easy to apply. It also helps improve product stability and provides a better user experience by enhancing texture and moisture retention, leaving hair feeling soft and manageable.
