Coco Di Ethanolamide (CDEA)

Cocamide DEA, or cocamide diethanolamine, is a diethanolamide made by reacting the mixture of fatty acids from coconut oils with diethanolamine. It is a viscous liquid and is used as a foaming agent in bath products like shampoos and hand soaps, and in cosmetics as an emulsifying agent. The chemical formula of individual components is CH₃(CH₂)_nC(=O)N(CH₂CH₂OH)₂, where n typically ranges from 8 to 18.
