Surfactants (Surface-Active Agents) are key ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, primarily used for their cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties. They work by reducing surface tension between water and oils, allowing dirt and sebum to be lifted away from skin and hair.

Cocodiethanolamide (CDEA)

Original price was: $ 3.33.Current price is: $ 3.21.
Cocodiethanolamide (CDEA) is a viscous, amber to dark brown liquid derived from the reaction of coconut oil fatty acids with diethanolamine. It is a non-ionic surfactant and foam stabilizer commonly used in personal care and cleaning products. CDEA enhances foam quality, viscosity, and skin conditioning properties in formulations. Due to its excellent emulsifying and thickening abilities, it is widely used as a secondary surfactant to boost the performance of primary detergents. It is valued for its biodegradability, mildness, and compatibility with various surfactants and other ingredients in cosmetics and industrial formulations.
