Methylcellulose 400 is a water-soluble cellulose ether widely used as a thickener and film-forming agent in cosmetic and personal care products. It builds body in aqueous systems without complex heating steps, making it a formulator-friendly rheology modifier.

Where It Is Used

• Peel-off and sheet masks: film-forming behavior creates comfortable, peelable mask films.
• Aqueous gels and serums: clean thickening for water-based lightweight textures.
• Hair care and styling: adds viscosity and light hold with good clarity.
• Eye care and pharmaceutical gels: mild, well-tolerated thickener for sensitive applications.

Functional Advantages

• Water-soluble thickening without heating complexity
• Film-forming support for masks and peel-off formats
• Thermal gelation behavior (reverse sol-gel on heating)
• Stable across a wide pH range
