Lanolinamide DEA, a lanolin fatty acid amide in combination with diethanoamine (DEA), is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together), emulsion stabilizer (supports the formation of emulsions and improves the resistance and durability of emulsions) and as surfactant (washing-active substance).
