Cocamide DEA, or cocamide diethanolamine, is a diethanolamide made by reacting the mixture of fatty acids from coconut oils with diethanolamine.[2] 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. See cocamide for the discussion of the lengths of carbon chains in the molecules in the mixture. The chemical formula of individual components is CH3(CH2)nC(=O)N(CH2CH2OH)2, where n typically ranges from 8 to 18.
Cocamide DEA is a yellowish, viscous liquid or solid that serves multiple functions, including foam boosting, thickening, and emulsification. It is valued for its ability to improve the texture, viscosity, and lather of products, making it a popular choice in personal care and cleaning industries.
