Cellulose gum, a lubricating and humectant component, used in cosmetics, has been used for its effectiveness, together with other components, for the dry mouth disorder, an illness that can be caused by drugs, easy to manage during the day , but problematic at night (1).

This component also known as sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) has been used in endoscopic dissection on animals (2).

Used as a suspension agent to test the stability of food supplements (3) and more.
