OLEAMIDE MEA.

Valuable CAS 111-58-0 / ANTISTATIC, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

OLEAMIDE MEA is a versatile fatty acid amide that primarily functions as a surfactant and viscosity modifier in cosmetic formulations. It offers additional benefits such as emollient properties, enhanced skin barrier function, and moisturizing effects, making it suitable for a diverse range of skincare applications.

Summary

Antistatic Foam Boosting Viscosity Controlling Emollient Skin Conditioning Moisturizing Cleansing Product Stabilizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

OLEAMIDE MEA exerts its effects through several mechanisms: it acts as an antistatic agent, mitigating electrostatic buildup; as a surfactant, it significantly improves foam quality by enhancing volume, structure, and durability. Additionally, it serves as a viscosity controlling agent, allowing formulators to precisely adjust product consistency. Topically, it can impart emollient properties, support skin barrier integrity, condition the skin, and aid in moisturizing and cleansing processes.
