As a surfactant, it can reduce the surface tension of the liquid, so that the liquid is easier to spread on the surface of the skin and hair, so as to better play a cleaning role.
Product Details
Chemical properties: CDEA, a non-ionic surfactant, is a fatty acid diethanolamide derived from coconut oil, which is generally a light yellow viscous liquid at room temperature.
Principle of action
As a surfactant, it can reduce the surface tension of the liquid, so that the liquid is easier to spread on the surface of the skin and hair, so as to better play a cleaning role; It can also be used as an emulsifier to make the oil phase and water phase components mix stably, so that the product texture is uniform; In some products can also play a role in adjusting the viscosity, so that the product has a suitable consistency, easy to use and smear.
Application
Widely used in personal care cleaning products, such as shampoo, body wash, hand sanitizer, facial cleanser and other products are often used as one of the main cleaning and foaming ingredients, can produce rich foam, effectively remove dirt, oil and impurities on the skin and hair; It can also be used in some cosmetics, such as makeup remover oil, lotion, etc., to help improve the texture and emulsification effect of the product.
