- The chemical structure of HPMC consists of a linear chain of glucose molecules with side chains of hydroxypropyl and methoxyl groups attached to the glucose units. The hydroxypropyl groups make the molecule hydrophilic, while the methoxyl groups increase its solubility in organic solvents. This dual nature of HPMC makes it suitable for use in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems.
- Cosmetics and personal care products often contain HPMC for its gelling and film-forming abilities. It is used in shampoos and hair conditioners to improve viscosity and provide a smooth application. In facial masks and lotions, it helps retain moisture, offering a soothing and hydrating effect on the skin.

HPMC is also used by treating polymers with hydrochloric acid and then subjecting them to high temperatures. HPMC has been used for decades as an additive in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. HPMC is also used as an ingredient in many foods. Due to semi-synthetic manufacturing procedures, hypromellose is slightly more expensive to produce than gelatin because it is a vegetarian alternative but is a better choice for our bodies.
