In the previous articles, we discussed the characteristics of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) and the specific applications of CMC as thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier in various types of cosmetics products. Today, let’s move on to discuss the synergistic effect between CMC and other cosmetic ingredients.
As we already know CMC is widely used in cosmetic products as thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier. In order to achieve the best results, CMC often works synergistically with other ingredients in cosmetic formulations. For example:
The synergy between CMC and glycerin: Glycerin is a common moisturizer, and when used in combination with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, it can enhance the moisturizing effect of cosmetic products. The thickening effect of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can make glycerin better stay on the skin surface and extend the moisturizing time.
The synergy between CMC and preservatives: Preservatives in cosmetics prevent the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of products. The stabilizing effect of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can also help the preservative to be more evenly distributed in the product and improve its effectiveness.
The synergy between CMC and active ingredients: Many cosmetic products contain various active ingredients, such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, etc. The thickening and stabilizing effects of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can help these active ingredients work better and improve the efficacy of the product.
From our articles about CMC in cosmetics application, I believe you’ve gained a basis understanding of it. In short, CMC is widely used in cosmetics and has a broad prospect. Through continuous research and innovation, this ingredient will continue to play an important role in the future cosmetics market.
