Cocamide MEA (CAS 68140-00-1), derived from coconut oil fatty acids and monoethanolamine, is a fatty acid alkanolamide used in personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.

Where is Cocamide MEA used?

• Shampoos and liquid soaps: thickens the base formula and enhances foam density
• Bar soap and solid shampoo: improves hardness and skin feel in pressed formats
• Industrial and household cleaners: sustains foam stability under hard water and in the presence of soils
• Textile and paper processing: emulsifier and dispersant for uniform wetting and fiber treatment
• It conditions lather texture and stabilizes surfactant systems in rinse-off and leave-on products.

Commercial specifications
