"Ricinolamide" means the carboxylic acid amide of ricinoleic acid. MEA is the acronym for monoethanolamine (2-aminoethanol).
Ricinoleamide MEA is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance has a viscosity regulating effect (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products), antistatic (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. in hair) and foaming (increases foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
