CDEA has good compatibility with a variety of surfactants, such as the combination of anionic surfactant LAS, which can significantly improve the foaming ability and enhance the washing effect, and can also be combined with other non-ionic and cationic surfactants to meet the needs of different shampoo formulations.
CDEA, or coconut oil diethanolamide, is a common shampoo raw material, the following is a detailed introduction to it:
Basic information
Chemical name: Coconut oil Diethanolamide, English name Coconut Diethanolamide, referred to as CDEA, also often referred to as 6501.
CAS number: 68603-42-9.
Characteristic and function
Thickening and stabilizing foam: CDEA has a good thickening effect, can increase the viscosity of shampoo, make it easier to adhere to the hair when used, and can stabilize the foam, make the foam more rich, delicate and durable, thus enhancing the cleaning effect of shampoo and use experience.
Reduce irritation: It can reduce the irritation of other surfactants in the shampoo system, make the shampoo more gentle, reduce the damage to the scalp and hair, suitable for a variety of hair and scalp types of people to use.
Enhanced cleaning power: When combined with other surfactants, CDEA can enhance the cleaning power of shampoo, effectively remove dirt, oil and other impurities from hair and scalp, and make hair cleaner.
Improve hair texture: help to improve hair combing performance, make hair more smooth, soft, easy to comb, reduce hair entanglement and knot phenomenon.
Appearance and nature
Appearance: Usually a yellowish to amber thick liquid.
Solubility: Easily soluble in water, forming a transparent or translucent solution in water.
pH: The pH of 10% solution is generally between 9 and 10.5.
Precautions for use
Quality control: When selecting CDEA as a shampoo raw material, it is necessary to ensure that its quality meets relevant standards and avoid using inferior products to affect the quality and safety of shampoo.
Addition control: although CDEA has a variety of excellent properties, but the amount of addition also needs to be properly controlled, excessive use may lead to shampoo is too thick, too much foam is not easy to wash off and other problems, generally in the shampoo formula added amount of no more than 10%.
Compatibility: In the formulation design, it is necessary to pay attention to the compatibility of CDEA with other raw materials to avoid interacting with some ingredients and affecting the stability and performance of shampoo.
FAQ
1.What is CDEA？
CDEA is coconut oil diethanolamide, is a non-ionic surfactant, the appearance is generally light yellow to amber thick liquid, with good water solubility.
The role of shampoo: with thickening, foaming stability, decontamination, anti-hard water and other functions, can enhance the cleaning effect of shampoo, stabilize the foam, make it more rich, delicate, lasting, but also reduce the stimulation of shampoo on the skin, make the hair soft and smooth after washing.
2.Is it safe for skin and hair？
Under normal use, CDEA is generally safe, but for some people with sensitive skin, it may cause skin irritation or discomfort. If redness, itching, tingling and other symptoms occur after use, stop using immediately and consult a professional doctor.
Compatibility with other ingredients: CDEA has good compatibility with a variety of surfactants, such as the combination of anionic surfactant LAS, which can significantly improve the foaming ability and enhance the washing effect, and can also be combined with other non-ionic and cationic surfactants to meet the needs of different shampoo formulations.
