Microcristalline cellulose is used in cosmetic formulations. The cellulose mixture acts as an absorbent (absorbs water- and/or oil-soluble dissolved or finely dispersed substances), emulsion stabilizer (supports the formation of emulsions and improves the resistance and shelf life of emulsions), opacifier (clouds the transparency and translucency of cosmetic products).
