Overview
Cocamide MEA is a nonionic surfactant that serves as a cleansing agent. This ingredient is normally supplied as a light yellow bead or flake and can be used to boost foaming activity of skin cleansing products.
In addition, cocamide MEA can be used as a co-surfactant, where it is blended with other surfactants within a cleansing system to improve mildness, boost foaming, or even increase viscosity.
In addition to working as a cleansing agent, cocamide MEA also functions as an emulsifier and an emulsion stabilizer in oil- and water-based systems. It tends to produce oil-in-water emulsions, specifically.
