CAS Number : 9004-32-4

INCI: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Composition: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. It is modified by introducing carboxymethyl groups onto the cellulose backbone. The degree of substitution (DS) typically ranges between 0.5 and 1.5 for CMC 2200-3000 cps.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose appears as a white to off-white, odorless powder.

Solubility: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is soluble in water, forming a viscous solution. Its solubility increases with agitation or heating. It may form gels or swell in water, depending on the concentration.

Preservation : Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is stable under normal storage conditions when kept in a dry environment and protected from moisture. It should be stored in airtight containers to prevent exposure to humidity.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature

Country of Origin: India            

Raw Material Source : The raw material for Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is cellulose, typically sourced from wood pulp or cotton.

Manufacture: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is manufactured through the chemical modification of cellulose using sodium chloroacetate under alkaline conditions. This process results in the substitution of carboxymethyl groups onto the cellulose backbone, producing Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose with the desired viscosity range.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested  

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE (2200-3000CPS) complies with relevant regulations and guidelines

Warning : Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Keep out of reach of children.

General Description:
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a modified cellulose polymer derived from natural cellulose fibers. It is water-soluble and forms a clear to slightly opaque gel when dissolved in water. CMC is available in various viscosity grades, such as 2200-3000 CPS (Centipoise), indicating its viscosity or thickness.

  • Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:
    Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose serves several purposes in cosmetics:
  • Thickening Agent: It is used as a thickener in cosmetic formulations to increase viscosity and improve the texture of products such as creams, lotions, and gels.
  • Stabilizer: CMC helps stabilize emulsions, preventing the separation of oil and water phases in products like creams and lotions.
  • Suspension Agent: It helps suspend insoluble particles and ingredients in formulations, ensuring even distribution and consistency.
  • Film-Forming Agent: CMC can form a film on the skin's surface or hair, providing a protective barrier that locks in moisture and enhances the performance of active ingredients.
  • Moisturizer: Due to its humectant properties, CMC helps attract and retain moisture, making it beneficial in moisturizers and hydrating products.
  • Binding Agent: In pressed powders and cosmetics with solid formulations, CMC helps bind ingredients together and improve cohesion.

Hazard:
While Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics, there are some considerations:

  • Skin Irritation: In rare cases, individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to CMC, especially in high concentrations or prolonged exposure. It is advisable to perform a patch test before using products containing CMC, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Eye Irritation: Direct contact with CMC powder or solutions can irritate the eyes. Safety precautions should be taken during handling to avoid eye exposure.
  • Environmental Impact: CMC is biodegradable and considered environmentally friendly. However, large-scale disposal into water bodies can potentially impact aquatic ecosystems.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Cosmetic-grade CMC must comply with regulatory standards set by authorities such as the FDA in the United States and the European Commission. Maximum allowable concentrations and usage conditions are specified to ensure consumer safety.
