Coco Monoethanolamide (CMEA) is a versatile, plant-derived ingredient widely used in both cosmetic and industrial product formulations. At EZ Elements, we supply premium-quality Coco Monoethanolamide – CMEA to manufacturers across Canada. Known for its multifunctional role as a coconut-based emulsifier and viscosity booster, CMEA adds value by improving texture, stability, and consistency in a wide variety of formulations.
Derived from coconut oil, CMEA is a non-ionic, biodegradable compound that enhances the sensory feel of products. It not only thickens and stabilizes emulsions but also supports foaming performance, making it a key personal care ingredient in daily-use products like shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, and body washes.
Role as a Non-Ionic Surfactant
CMEA’s role as a non-ionic surfactant makes it especially valuable in mild and skin-friendly formulations.
Unlike ionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants are less likely to cause irritation or react with other ingredients. This makes CMEA suitable for use in gentle, sulfate-free, and pH-balanced personal care products. Its ability to perform across a wide range of formulations ensures product stability while maintaining a soft, luxurious feel on skin and hair.
Key Industry Applications of CMEA
From homecare to industrial manufacturing, Coco Monoethanolamide (CMEA) is trusted for its multifunctional benefits:
- Personal Care
Used as a foaming agent and thickener, CMEA enhances lather, creaminess, and viscosity in shampoos, cleansers, and lotions—delivering a superior user experience. - Cleaning Products
