Cellulose Gum

Origin: Cellulose gum, also known as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), is a water-soluble polymer derived from natural plant cellulose, typically sourced from wood pulp or cotton fibers. Through a controlled etherification process, cellulose is chemically modified with chloroacetic acid to introduce carboxymethyl groups, giving it excellent solubility and film-forming properties.

This plant-derived origin ensures that CMC is a biocompatible and sustainable ingredient, aligning with modern oral care trends emphasizing clean-label and environmentally responsible formulations.
