Lauric Acid Diethanolamide(CAT: M070497), also known as cocamide DEA, is a surfactant and foam booster derived from lauric acid and diethanolamine. It is widely used in personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and body washes due to its ability to enhance the foam quality and improve the texture of formulations. In addition to its use as a thickening agent, Lauric Acid Diethanolamide also acts as an emulsifier, helping to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. Its mildness and effectiveness make it a popular choice in cosmetic formulations, though its safety and environmental impact are subjects of ongoing regulatory review.
