Coco Diethanolamide, also known as Coconut Diethanolamide or CDEA, is a widely used ingredient in the home and personal care industry. It is a versatile compound derived from coconut oil and is primarily used as a surfactant and foam booster in various cleaning and personal care products.
Coco Diethanolamide exhibits excellent foam stability and viscosity-building properties, making it ideal for applications in liquid soaps, shampoos, body washes, and dishwashing liquids. It enhances the foaming characteristics of these products, creating a rich and luxurious lather that improves the overall cleansing experience.
Apart from its foaming properties, Coco Diethanolamide also acts as a thickening agent and emulsifier. It helps stabilize and emulsify oil and water-based formulations, ensuring the proper dispersion of ingredients and enhancing the product’s overall texture and stability.
