Vad gör det?

Hydroxyethyl Ethylcellulose finns i EU:s inventering över kosmetiska ingredienser med följande deklarerade funktioner:

• Binding

  holds the components of a formulation together, especially in pressed powders and compact makeup

• Emulsion stabilising

  stabilises emulsions of oil and water, preventing separation over time

• Film forming

  forms a thin continuous film on skin, hair, or nails — used in long-wear makeup, sunscreens, and hairsprays

• Surfactant - emulsifying

  surfactant that forms and stabilises emulsions of oil and water — without it, creams and lotions would separate

• Viscosity controlling

  adjusts the thickness or flow of a formulation

EU-regulatorisk status

Hydroxyethyl Ethylcellulose är tillåten i kosmetiska produkter i Europeiska unionen enligt förordning 1223/2009. Omfattas vid skrivande stund inte av någon särskild bilageinskränkning.
