"Ricinolamide" means the carboxylic acid amide of ricinoleic acid. DEA (acronym for diethanolamine) denotes a colourless amino alcohol. Ricinoleamide DEA is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance has antistatic effects (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. in hair), viscosity regulating (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and foaming (increases foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
