Cocamide DEA

Description

Cocamide DEA, or cocamide diethanolamine, is a diethanolamide made by reacting the mixture of fatty acids from coconut oils with diethanolamine. It is a viscous liquid and is used as a foaming agent in bath products like shampoos and hand soaps, and in cosmetics as an emulsifying agent that helps keep the formulations stable and prevents the ingredients from separating. Further, it is a surfactant which means that it reduces the surface tension between different compounds.

Uses of COCAMIDE DEA:

Cocamide DEA is used in skin care and hair care products as a foaming agent. It also helps keep the ingredients together and results in a more stable formulation.
Skin care: Cocamide DEA enables both oil and water to be mixed in evenly and also increases the foaming capacity of products like bubble baths
Hair care: Conditioners and shampoos with Cocamide DEA have the ability to trap any oil-based dirt on hair and rinse it off. It is also a thickener and improves the texture of products.

Origin:
Cocamide DEA is a viscous and amber-colored liquid that is made by reacting the fatty acids obtained from coconut oil with a chemical called ethanolamine. The natural fatty acids are chemically altered to result in this foaming agent.

Functions of Cocamide DEA:
Surfactant
Foam boosting
