Microcrystalline Cellulose
Microcrystalline Cellulose is a naturally derived polymer obtained from cellulose — the most abundant natural polymer on Earth and a key component of plant cell walls — with a chain length of fewer than 200 repeated units. It is available as a fine or coarser white powder; the coarser particle size functions as a gentle, biodegradable scrubbing agent, while the ultra-fine version acts as a texture-enhancing helper ingredient. When combined with Cellulose Gum, it can also serve as a gelling agent in formulations.
The ultra-fine grade imparts a super-silky, soft skin feel and reduces tackiness or greasiness, while also functioning as a mattifying agent. The larger-particle grade provides gentle physical exfoliation as a natural, biodegradable alternative to plastic polyethylene microbeads. It additionally contributes to emulsion stability and viscosity control in cosmetic formulas.
