Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a gelling and thickening agent derived from cellulose. It is widely used in cosmetics, cleaning solutions, and other household products.

HEC is a non-ionic, water soluble polymer used as a thickening agent for aqueous cosmetic and personal care formulations. It will produce crystal clear gel products and thicken the aqueous phase of cosmetic emulsions. It can be also be used to efficiently thicken shampoos, body washes and shower gels.

Disperse the Hydroxyethyl cellulose in water and by stir vigorously or using a blender. Continue to hydrate the HEC in water until completely dissolved.

Higher pH and higher temperatures  DECREASE  the hydration time, but the higher pH and temperature may also result in lumping. It's recommended that the HEC be added to room temperature water, with a neutral pH
