Coco Diethanolamide (Cdea)

Introduction
Coco Diethanolamide (CDEA) is a non-ionic surfactant and foam booster derived from coconut fatty acids. It is widely used in personal care and detergent formulations as a foam stabilizer, thickening agent, and emulsifier. CDEA enhances the performance of cleansing products by improving viscosity, foam quality, and overall formulation stability.
Its excellent compatibility with other surfactants makes it a preferred ingredient in both cosmetic and industrial cleaning applications.
