Cosmetics uses

Cosmetics Grade Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a versatile ingredient used in over 50% of cosmetic products for its exceptional properties. As a thickening agent, it’s crucial in formulations where viscosity needs to be precisely controlled, commonly found in 30-40% of skincare products. In hair care, about 25% of shampoos and conditioners utilize CMC for its conditioning and detangling effects. It’s also a staple in makeup, contributing to the texture and stability of around 20% of foundations and mascaras. In toothpaste, making up approximately 15% of the market, CMC enhances texture and consistency. Its moisture retention properties are vital in 35% of moisturizers and lotions, ensuring skin hydration. Moreover, CMC serves as a film-forming agent in approximately 10% of sunscreens, improving application and wear. These diverse applications underscore CMC’s critical role in enhancing the quality and performance of cosmetic products. Cleansing Lotion: Formulate with 1.5% CMC (FH9), 5% Beta-Cyclodextrin Hydrate, 15% Liquid Paraffin, and 5% Glycerin. Add suitable preservatives and fragrances. Mix with distilled water to make up to 100%. This emulsion serves as an excellent and stable cosmetic product.

Almond Cream: Use 1.3% CMC (FH9), 9.9% Almond Oil, 0.2% Bitter Almond Oil, 0.8% Geranium Oil, and 90% Ethanol. Include appropriate amounts of preservatives and fragrances. Mix well, then dilute with 100% distilled water. This almond cream offers excellent skin protection and anti-wrinkle benefits.

Lipstick: CMC aids in pigment suspension and dispersion, binding other ingredients for even distribution. For more information, contact Carboxymethyl Cellulose suppliers. Dosage: 0.5%-1.0%, using grade FH9.

Royal Jelly Face Mask: Royal Jelly, a precious natural nourisher, stimulates gland activity and disease resistance, offering special skin protection. Adding CMC to the face mask ensures uniform distribution of ingredients and enhances skin hydration. It also has excellent film-forming properties. Formula: 2% CMC (FH9), 1% Sodium Alginate, 5% Polyethylene Glycol, 1% Carbomer 940, 1.5% Polyoxyethylene Lauryl Ether, 10% Ethanol, 0.5% Triethanolamine, 5% Glycerin, 0.5% Royal Jelly, and 73.5% Refined Water, with a suitable amount of preservative.

Shampoo: CMC combined with Fatty Acid Ethanolamine or 2,2'-Iminodiethanol forms a thin film around hair, providing a sleek effect. Typical Formula: 2.5% CMC (FH9), 10% Propylene Glycol (plasticizer), 44.6% Water, Triethanolamine, 20% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (cleansing agent), Sorbitol, 3% Polyoxethylene (adjusting agent), 2% Sodium Stearate (brightener), 0.8% Dye, Fragrances, and a suitable amount of preservative.

Anti-Aging Serum: A formula comprising 0.7% CMC (FH9) for a smooth, gel-like texture. It includes 10% Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration, 2% Vitamin C for skin brightening, and 5% Collagen for elasticity. The base is a mixture of 70% water and 10% Glycerin, enhanced with natural antioxidants and preservatives.

Sunscreen Lotion: Formulated with 2% CMC (FH9) for consistency and stability. It contains 10% Zinc Oxide and 5% Titanium Dioxide for broad-spectrum UV protection. Additional ingredients include 5% Aloe Vera for soothing and 3% Vitamin E for skin repair. The base is 70% water, with added emollients and preservatives.

The base consists of 85% water, along with natural fragrances and preservatives for a lasting effect.

CMC is used to achieve tartrate or cold stability in wine, an innovation that may save megawatts of electricity used to chill wine in warm climates. It is more stable than metatartaric acid and is very effective in inhibiting tartrate precipitation. It is reported that KHT crystals, in presence of CMC, grow slower and change their morphology. Their shape becomes flatter because they lose 2 of the 7 faces, changing their dimensions. CMC molecules, negatively charged at wine pH, interact with the electropositive surface of the crystals, where potassium ions are accumulated. The slower growth of the crystals and the modification of their shape are caused by the competition between CMC molecules and bitartrate ions for binding to the KHT crystals
