- In the cosmetics industry, HPMC is used in a variety of products such as creams, lotions, and sunscreens. It is added to formulations to improve their consistency, stability, and spreadability. HPMC is also used in hair care products, such as shampoos and styling gels, to provide a smooth and silky texture. In skincare products, HPMC helps to create a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the product.
- higher DS and MW will result in a slower release rate and increased viscosity,

According to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the Commission forwarded the application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as an application under Article 10(2) (re-evaluation of an authorised feed additive). EFSA received directly from the applicant the technical dossier in support of this application. The particulars and documents in support of the application were considered valid by EFSA as of 26 April 2019.
HPMC gel is a multifunctional material with diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, food, construction, cosmetics, medical devices, and agriculture. Its unique properties, such as biocompatibility, water solubility and rheology control, contribute to its wide application in various industries. As research and development continue, the potential applications of HPMC gels are likely to expand, making them an increasingly important and versatile material in numerous fields.
2. The viscosity of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is related to the size of the molecular weight, and the larger the molecular weight is , the higher the viscosity is. The temperature will also affect its viscosity. As the temperature increases, the viscosity decreases. However, the viscosity of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is less affected by the temperature than Methyl Cellulose, and its solution is stable in storage at room temperature.
