Overview of Lauric Acid Monoethanolamide

Lauric Acid Monoethanolamide (LAMEA) is a non-ionic surfactant and foam booster widely used in personal care, cosmetic, and cleaning formulations for its excellent emulsifying, thickening, and stabilising properties. It appears as a white to off-white solid or flakes and is valued for improving foam quality, viscosity, and overall formulation stability.

In personal care products, Lauric Acid Monoethanolamide is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hand washes to enhance foam, improve skin feel, and stabilise formulations. It works effectively with anionic surfactants such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), and amphoteric surfactants to provide balanced cleansing and improved sensory performance.
ChemicalBull supplies high-quality Lauric Acid Monoethanolamide suitable for personal care and cleaning product manufacturing, ensuring consistent quality, reliable foam boosting, and bulk availability.
