"TEA" is the acronym for triethanolamine, a quaternary ammonium compound. Triethanolamine easily reacts with fatty acids to form triethanolamine soaps and is used as a basic component in soaps and other cosmetic products. In addition, this ingredient contains (fatty) alcohols from coconut oil as an alcoholic component. Sulfates are salts or esters of sulfuric acid.
TEA-coco-sulfate is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of products during application).
