Cocamide DEA (Coconut Diethanol Amide; CDEA; 6501)

Cocamide DEA is a common ingredient made with the mixture of fatty acids from coconut oils and diethanolamine.  Diethanolamine or ‘DEA’ are organic compounds that perform as emulsifiers to produce foam and bubbles in cosmetics.   It acts as a surfactant, foam booster, thickener and is generally used in rinse-off products like shampoos, body wash, bath oil, hand soaps, washing liquids, cleaning agents, etc.  Cocamide DEA has the ability to increase the foaming capacity and stabilize the surfactant foam and can also increase the viscosity of an aqueous (water based) solution. When used as an emulsifier, it supports the formation of emulsions and improves their stability and shelf life.

Our Cocamide DEA is widely used in shampoos, body washes, facial washes, liquid soaps, makeup removers, shower gels, skin care products, cleaning products, etc.
