Hydroxyethyl ethyl cellulose is a substance used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a binding agent (binds cosmetic preparations containing powder and powder), emulsion stabilizer (supports the formation of emulsions and improves the resistance and durability of emulsions), film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).

Frequently used as an ingredient in toothpastes.
