"TEA" is the acronym for triethanolamine, a quaternary ammonium compound. Triethanolamine reacts readily with fatty acids to form triethanolamine soaps and is used as a basic component in soaps and other cosmetic products. Sulfonates are salts or esters of sulfonic acids (alkanesulfonic acids, alkylsulfuric acids).

TEA-dodecylbenzenesulfonate is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of products during application).
