Microcrystalline Cellulose for Texture and Usage Percentage

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is commonly used in cosmetic and food formulations primarily as a texturizer, binder, and anti-caking agent. While it can contribute to the viscosity and stability of a formula, particularly in suspensions and emulsions by forming a particle network, it is not typically considered a primary thickener in the same way as gums or polymers. Its main function is often related to providing structure and improving texture.

The recommended usage percentage for Microcrystalline Cellulose varies widely depending on the specific application and the desired effect. Typical usage levels can range from 0.5% up to 10% or even higher, especially when used as a filler or texturizer. For achieving significant thickening or suspension, it is often used in combination with other rheology modifiers.
