What is it?

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a plant-derived ingredient used in dietary supplements as an excipient, which is an inactive ingredient that helps ensure supplements are manufactured consistently and perform as intended. It serves as a binder, filler, and flow agent, helping capsules and tablets maintain their shape and ensuring the active ingredients are evenly distributed. Microcrystalline Cellulose is inert, non-digestible, and has no nutritional or active biological effect. In cosmetics and skin care it is used primarily for its texturizing, stabilizing, and absorbent properties.

Information

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a plant-derived ingredient used in dietary supplements as an excipient, which is an inactive ingredient that helps ensure supplements are manufactured consistently and perform as intended. It serves as a binder, filler, and flow agent, helping capsules and tablets maintain their shape and ensuring the active ingredients are evenly distributed. Microcrystalline Cellulose is inert, non-digestible, and has no nutritional or active biological effect. In cosmetics and skin care it is used primarily for its texturizing, stabilizing, and absorbent properties.

Where does it come from?

Microcrystalline Cellulose is derived from cellulose, the natural structural fiber found in the cell walls of plants. It is most commonly sourced from sustainably harvested wood pulp or purified cotton fibers. The cellulose is carefully purified and processed into a fine, stable powder suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement applications.

What are the benefits?

REGENERATION VITALITY PROTECTION

What are the benefits?

  • Plant-Derived: Made from naturally occurring plant cellulose and suitable for vegetarian and vegan formulations.
  • Supports Consistency: Helps ensure each capsule contains a uniform amount of active ingredients for reliable quality.
  • Improves Manufacturing: Enhances powder flow and helps produce capsules efficiently and consistently.
  • Stabilizing: Helps maintain the structure and integrity of capsules throughout their shelf life.
  • Inert: Functions as a formulation aid without affecting the activity of the supplement's ingredients.

How is it used in our products?

Microcrystalline Cellulose is used in I95 Hydroxytyrosol Burn Molecule from OLIVEDA and HT Blush Glow and HT Shaping Contour from OLIVE ROSE. It is an inactive, plant-derived ingredient that helps ensure the consistency, quality, and stability of our capsules. It supports the manufacturing process by helping the active ingredients blend evenly and fill each capsule accurately. By improving capsule uniformity and integrity, Microcrystalline Cellulose helps deliver a high-quality supplement while allowing the active ingredients to perform as intended.

Microcrystalline Cellulose is a versatile, plant-derived ingredient also used in cosmetics and skin care primarily for its texturizing, stabilizing, and absorbent properties.
