HPMC can be used as a thickener in products such as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. It increases the viscosity and thickness of products, making them easier to use and more comfortable.
1. Stabilizer: HPMC can be used as a stabilizer to help maintain the stability of various ingredients in products such as shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. It prevents chemical components from separating during storage and transportation, thereby ensuring product quality.
2. Moisturizer: HPMC can be used as a moisturizer, has good moisturizing effect, and plays a role in lubricating and moisturizing the skin in washing and care products.

The role of CMC in shampoo, toothpaste and shower gel
1. Thickener: CMC can form a viscous solution in water, which can increase the viscosity of the liquid, making it easier to suspend and maintain stability. Therefore, CMC is often used in various liquid products such as jams, beverages, emulsions, etc. in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and other industries.
2. Adhesive: CMC has strong adhesiveness and can bond different substances together. In the food industry, CMC is often used to make micelles in candies, bread and other products to increase their stickiness and taste.
3. Moisturizer: CMC can absorb and retain moisture and has good moisturizing effect. Therefore, it is commonly used as a humectant in cosmetics and personal care products such as shampoos, facial masks, moisturizers, etc.
4. Stabilizer: CMC can stabilize the stability of emulsions and suspensions and prevent their separation and precipitation. In the food industry, CMC is often used in dairy products such as cheese and ice cream to make it more stable.
