Cocamide TEA

Cocamide TEA, or cocamide triethanolamine, is a triethanolamide made by reacting fatty acids in coconut oils with triethanolamine. It is a viscous liquid and is used as a foaming agent in bath products like shampoos and hand soaps, and in cosmetics as an emulsifying agent. See cocamide for the discussion of the length of carbon chain in the molecule.
