Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is an ingredient that you may not have heard of before.
This is because Tylose MH 30000 YP4 doesn’t convey any benefit to the skin but instead improves the texture and sensory feel of skincare formulations.
Hydroxyethylcellulose is a cellulose-derived polymer that is used in cosmetics and skincare products as a thickening agent, that also works as a rheology modifier.
Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose.
Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is a natural sugar that is found in the cell wall of plants.
In fact, cellulose is the most abundant organic sugar on Earth.
While Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is naturally derived, Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is synthetically made by reacting ethylene oxide with alkali-cellulose.
Modified cellulose products such as Tylose MH 30000 YP4 are widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations and also find use in cleaning and household products.

In cosmetics and skincare products, Tylose MH 30000 YP4 functions to improve the texture and feel of formulations.
Thickener
Thickening agents are an important part of cosmetic formulation.
They not only help to improve the feel of a product but also ensure the product spreads evenly and smoothly across the skin.
This is particularly important when the skin is flaky or has an uneven complexion.
There are more than 500 thickeners are used in skincare formulating due to their importance in the formulating process.
Cellulose derivatives are popular water-based thickeners.
Tylose MH 30000 YP4 has the ability to thicken the water-based ingredients in the formulation.
Dry Tylose MH 30000 YP4 exists as white, free-flowing granular powder when water is added to Tylose MH 30000 YP4 it causes the powder to swell into a crystal clear gel.
In fact, of all the natural polymers, Tylose MH 30000 YP4 creates the clearest serums and gels.
Rheology modifier
Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is also considered to be a rheology modifier.
Rheology can be defined as “the science or study of how things flow”, and it is a requirement of skincare products that they flow in the right way.
For example, a skin cream should have a rich, thick appearance in the jar, but should be capable of being easily picked up and spread into the skin.
Rheology modifiers can be added to a formulation to adjust the product flow.
Often, the term ‘rheology modifier’ is used interchangeably with ‘thickener’.
While increasing the apparent thickness will produce a feeling of ‘quality’ to the formulation, this is only one aspect of rheological control.
For instance, Tylose MH 30000 YP4 not only adds thickness to creams and lotions but also gives them a softer feel.
In shampoos and cleansers, Tylose MH 30000 YP4 enhances foam creaminess and richness.
This allows the manufacturer to use less surfactant or detergents while also reducing the irritation potential, thus making the cleanser more gentle and effective.
Lastly, Tylose MH 30000 YP4 is an excellent choice for clear hair gel where it will offer soft hold and a nice feel on the hair without stickiness or flaking.
