ALMONDAMIDE DEA.

Valuable CAS 124046-18-0 / SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

A nonionic conditioning agent derived from almond oil, ALMONDAMIDE DEA enhances skin and hair feel. It also functions to build viscosity and stabilize foam in cosmetic formulations.

Summary

surfactant viscosity controlling foam boosting antistatic

Science

Mechanism of Action

This amphiphilic nonionic surfactant conditions skin and hair via its almond oil-derived fatty acid chain. Its diethanolamide head group reduces surface tension, stabilizes foam, and precisely modifies rheology to increase system viscosity.

Stability

Most stable in slightly alkaline conditions (pH 8-10); avoid highly acidic environments due to hydrolysis risk. It can enhance emulsion stability and application feel.

Conflicts

  • Nitrosating agents (e.g., Sodium Nitrite, Bronopol, 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol)
  • Strongly acidic formulations
