Cellulose · Cellulose Powder
A plant-fiber powder used to absorb oil, add soft texture, and serve as a gentle bulking agent.
What it does
Cellulose is the structural fiber of plants. As a fine powder it absorbs oil, adds a soft, smooth feel, and bulks out a formula, and it is used as a plant-based alternative to plastic micro-particles. It is a texture-and-feel ingredient rather than a skin active.
