COCAMIDE DEA
COCAMIDE DEA
Cocamide DEA is a surfactant of plant and synthetic origin derived from coconut oil. It fulfills several roles in cosmetic formulations: surfactant (reduces surface tension), foaming agent (creates foam), emulsifier (mixes oily and aqueous phases), and thickening agent (increases viscosity).
