COCAMIDE MEA
Safety grade: A
Cocamide MEA is a gentle cleansing agent derived from coconut oil that helps create creamy lathers in shampoos and body washes. It works by trapping oils and dirt so they can be rinsed away with water.
This ingredient stabilizes emulsions to keep oil and water mixed together, boosts foaming action for a luxurious lather, and thickens products to achieve the desired consistency.
