Cocodiethanolamide is made with the mixture of fatty acids from coconut oils/palm kernel and diethanolamine.
Function as a humectant, anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory properties and skin hydration capabilities in cosmetic products.
It is viscous liquid and acts as a foaming agent and is used in bath products like shampoos and hand soaps, and in other personal care products as an emulsifying agent.
It is able to give superior hydration to the skin, without the residual stickiness often associated with glycerine based emulsions.
The specific molecular structure is also responsible for giving it unique solvent powers and sensory properties, such as a silky and smooth feel.
Its “silk effect”, in turn, is the reason for why it’s used in so many hair shampoos and conditioners.
