What is Triethanolamine?
TEA or triethanolamine is a kind of organic compound. It is formed by reacting ethylene oxide and aqueous ammonia. TEA is a colorless to light yellowish viscous liquid, with a light ammonia odor. It can solidify depending upon the storage conditions and is soluble in water and oils. It is primarily used as an ingredient in medicines and cosmetic products.
Use & Benefits:
- Buffering Agent: Maintains the pH balance of products, preventing detrimental effects on the skin such as itching and lipid depletion.
- Surfactant: Reduces surface tension between product components, facilitating the removal of dirt, oil, and pollutants from the skin's surface.
- Emulsifier: Stabilizes product formulations by preventing component separation and ensuring equitable dispersion of oil and water-based constituents.
