Cocamide MEA(CMEA)

Cocamide MEA, or CMEA for short, is a non-ionic surfactant commonly sold in a solid flake form. It has similar functions and properties to Cocamide DEA but with better thickening properties. It has excellent thickening and foam stabilizing ability and has an obvious pearlescent effect in the formulation of Pearlescent Shampoo, Body Lotion, Shower Gel, Hand Soap, Powder Synthetic Detergent, etc.

CMEA is commonly chosen as the secondary surfactant over its rivaling surfactants in anionic-based formulas when high viscosity is preferred for its outstanding thickening property. As it’s in solid form at room temperature, it’s also easier and cheaper to transport and handle compared to other surfactants commonly in liquid form.
