Glycerines made by Dow don’t change the taste or smell of medicines. They are used in toothpaste products to keep the paste at the right smoothness and consistency, and are also used in mouthwash.

Methylcellulose ethers are used to mask the taste of medicines so they taste less yucky. They also keep drugs from being diluted too quickly, which helps you feel better for a longer period of time.
shampoo & conditionerShampoo and Conditioner
Methylcellulose ethers are used as a thickening agent to make products thicker and easier to handle. Without them, products like shampoos, conditioners, hand and body soaps, and bubble baths might run through your hands just like water!

Do you ever find cosmetics at the bottom of your purse or backpack? Dow’s styrene acrylonitrile resins are used to make cosmetic cases strong and durable, which helps keep your eyeshadows and powder from breaking.
