Namely
Cellulose occurs naturally in the walls of plants, including in the wood. The term "cellulose gum" describes a cellulose derivative, without precising which one. Cellulose is generally extracted industrially from wood and is used to manufacture plastics (cellophane), cardboard and textiles (viscose). In cosmetics, it is a binding agent and emulsion stabiliser.
