Ingredient
Cellulose Gum
Low risk
FunctionThickener
What it is — Cellulose Gum (INCI: Cellulose Gum, also called carboxymethylcellulose) is a plant-cellulose-derived thickening polymer.
What it does — It is commonly used to thicken and stabilize gel and liquid textures and to give a smooth, even feel.
Typical use — It appears in gels, serums, cleansers, masks and hair products, where it builds viscosity.
Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin; it shapes how a product feels and dispenses rather than delivering a skincare effect.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert texture agent. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
Why we grade it Low: Low risk — inert texture agent.
