Linoleamide MEA, also known as linoleic acid monoethanolamide, is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and foaming agent (increases the foaming and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
