Used at 0.2%-2%, it hydrates easily in cold or warm water to create smooth, stable gels and lotions. Perfect for enhancing texture and stability in creams, shampoos, conditioners, and serums, this ingredient offers safe, reliable performance for millennial beauty innovators seeking salon-quality results at home. ## Description Product description Review: Learn about it before you get it! - So for you to make some success with this product, you need to know exactly what you’re doing. My success was by hydrating this completely into water. Do not mix that, I just put the distilled water in a beaker, sprinkled a little of this powder on the top, covered it with plastic wrap and then I put it in the fridge overnight. It came back next day fully hydrated on its own. I didn’t even try to mix it. 2% is good, but don’t expect it to be really sick so it works as a co-thickener not a thickener on its own. Use this at strength of 0.15% of your original thickener. For me I created a pre-hydrated bottle that is 150 ml at 2% strength and I preserved it with Geoguard ECT and I kept that in the fridge for future use. Review: Great for paper mache projects! Make sure the water is HOT! - Finally a substitute for the discontinued Elmer's art paste that all us Art teachers LOVED. Only note- make sure to use HOT water or it is super lumpy and you need way more water than the directions that i found online, which is great because it makes it go a lot further. Great for paper mache projects! ## Features - Cosmetic-grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) used for thickening, stabilizing, and forming smooth gels in skincare and haircare products. - Recommended Usage: Typically used at 0.2%–2% depending on desired viscosity, clarity, and formulation type. - How to Use: Disperse HPMC into cold or warm water phase, allow it to hydrate, then mix until a uniform gel or solution is achieved. - Ideal for face gels, lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, serums, and a wide range of DIY cosmetic preparations. - Safety: For external use only; avoid inhaling powder; do not apply raw ingredient directly to skin; keep out of reach of children and store in a dry, airtight container. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | % Assay of Chemical(s) | 20 | | ASIN | B0BZVRY5TF | | Best Sellers Rank | #320,026 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #11,829 in Body Moisturizers | | Brand | MYOC | | Brand Name | MYOC | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 37 Reviews | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Volume | 3.52 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 3.52 Ounces | | Manufacturer | MYOC | | Package Information | Bag | | Part Number | MYOC_ Hydroxypropyl_100gm_US | | Percentage assay | 20 | | Unit Count | 3.52 Ounce | | Volume | 3.52 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MYOC - **Item Form:** Powder - **Color:** Translucent - **Finish Type:** Powder - **Skin Type:** All ## Images ![Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (100 g / 3.52 oz) - Cosmetic Grade Thickening & Film-Forming Agent for Gels Creams Lotions & DIY Formulations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tNANBU6jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn about it before you get it! *by E***A on December 20, 2025* So for you to make some success with this product, you need to know exactly what you’re doing.

Great for paper mache projects! ### ⭐ Not for use in skin care *by S***D on March 3, 2026* If you are new to homemade cosmetics and found this product thinking it was a close enough and slightly more affordable product to hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) powder, DO NOT BUY THIS. It does not work as expected, needing much more per volume to thicken the mixture, and it smells absolutely terrible. My lovely hydrosol smells like lavender until I add this stuff, which smells like a horrible cleaning agent. I did some reading upon using this stuff for the first time and discovered that hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is more commonly used in masonry and outdoor applications, which makes sense when I look at the products I've used it in. Serums and masks dry into a rubbery, sticky film that will peel off your face if left and need to be scrubbed off. Heavens knows how badly it's been clogging my pores. I will be using xanthan gum until my newly-ordered HEC powder gets here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Myoc Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) – 100 Gm (3.52 Oz), Pure Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Powder, HPMC Powder, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose for Cosmetics, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Bulk - Myoc Hydroxyethyl Cellulose - 250 Gm (8.81 Oz), Pure Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Powder, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose-Based Lubricants, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Bulk, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose for Paints, HEC - Lemi Shine 100% Citric Acid Powder l Pure Food-Grade Flavor Enhancer & All-Natural Preservative | Fragrance Free Citric Acid for Mini Bath Bombs, Cooking, & Canning, 8 oz.
