Coco Mono Ethanol Amide (Cmea)

Coco Mono Ethanolamide (CMEA) is a pale-yellow solid derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil and mono ethanolamine (MEA). It is widely used in personal care and household formulations as a foam booster, emulsifier, viscosity enhancer, and emollient agent. CMEA enhances the quality of foam, giving it a richer, creamier, and more stable texture, while also imparting a smooth and moisturizing feel to the end product.

This ingredient plays a key role in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and other surfactant-based formulations, improving consistency, thickness, and product stability. Known for its multifunctional properties, it effectively increases viscosity in aqueous systems and helps achieve a luxurious finish in personal care products.
