DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Oleamide is the carboxylic acid amide of oleic acid. Oleamide plays an important role in the organism as a neuromodulator. DEA (acronym for diethanolamine) describes a colourless amino alcohol.
Oleamide DEA 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 foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
