  • Applications

    Lauric acid diethanolamide (CAS 120-40-1) is a nonionic surfactant commonly used as a surfactant and foam booster in cosmetics and personal care products (shampoos, body washes, face cleansers); it also functions as a thickener and rheology modifier in these formulations and in household cleaners; it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer for oil-in-water emulsions in creams and lotions; it serves as a surfactant component in industrial and consumer cleaning products; and it may be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other surfactants and emulsion stabilizers for emulsions or coatings.
