Hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC is commonly used in mask serum rheological thickening agent and skeleton components, and it has a good skin feel such as lubrication, soft fit, more permeable to the skin when applying masks. HEC's performance is significantly better than xanthan gum, which can make the thicker type of mask base more fully and completely infiltrated.

Other roles of hydroxyethyl cellulose:
1, Hydroxyethyl cellulose is widely used in architectural coatings, petroleum, polymer polymerization, medicine, daily use, paper and ink, fabrics, ceramics, construction, agriculture and other industries, with thickening, bonding, emulsification, dispersion, stabilization, and can retain moisture, forming films and provide protection from colloidal effects, easily soluble in cold and hot water to provide a wide range of viscosity of the solution is one of the faster development of cellulose ether in recent years.
2, hydroxyethyl cellulose is the most commonly used thickener in latex coatings. In addition to thickening of latex coatings, at the same time can play the role of emulsification, dispersion, stabilization and water retention.
3, hydroxyethyl cellulose in the polymerization of synthetic resins or **** polymerization components have dispersion, emulsification, suspension and stabilization of the role of the colloid can be used as protection.
