Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a gelling and
thickening agent derived from cellulose. It is widely used in cosmetics,
cleaning solutions, and other household products. Hydroxyethyl cellulose and
methyl cellulose are frequently used with hydrophobic drugs in capsule
formulations, to improve the drugs' dissolution in the gastrointestinal fluids.
This process is known as hydrophilization.
Hydroxyethyl cellulose is one of the main
ingredients in the lubricant KY Jelly. It is also a key ingredient in the
formation of big bubbles as it possesses the ability to dissolve in water but
also provide structural strength to the soap bubble.
