FAQs
What is CDEA's main function?
Its main functions are to build viscosity (thicken) and stabilize the foam in liquid cleaning products like shampoos and soaps.
Is CDEA a primary cleaner?
No, it's typically used as a secondary surfactant. It supports the primary surfactants (like SLES) by improving the foam and texture of the final product.
Is it derived from coconut?
Yes, CDEA is made by reacting the fatty acids from coconut oil with diethanolamine, making it a naturally-derived ingredient.
