Palm kernelamide mipa (inci)

Palm kernelamide MIPA is the reaction product of carboxylic acids from palm kernel oil with MIPA (acronym for monoisopropanolamine) an aminal alcohol. The mixture of substances acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance which is used in cosmetic products as an auxiliary agent to form two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water into one emulsion), emulsion stabilizer (supports the formation of emulsions and improves the stability and shelf life of emulsions), surfactant (washing-active substance/improves the even distribution of the products during application), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and as foaming agent (increases the foaming and improves the volume, structure and stability of the foam).
