Cleansol CDEA (Cocamide DEA)
About this item
Cleansol CDEA is coconut diethanolamide (cocamide DEA) – a pale yellow, viscous nonionic surfactant made from coconut fatty acids. Used alongside SLES, LABSA or AOS, it boosts and stabilises foam, builds thickness with salt and improves degreasing, giving dishwash liquids, shampoos, handwash and car wash shampoos a richer, more premium feel. Cleansol repacks it from bulk into convenient 500 ml, 1 Ltr and 5 Ltr packs, with a GST invoice. Larger quantities are available on enquiry.

Both boost foam and thickness with SLES. CDEA is strong on thickening and degreasing (popular in dishwash); CAPB is milder on skin (popular in shampoo and face wash). Many formulas use both.
How much CDEA should I add?
Generally 2–5% of the finished product. Start low and adjust.
Why has it become very thick?
CDEA thickens in cold weather. Warm it gently and mix; the quality is not affected.
Which pack size should I buy?
500 ml for a trial, 1 Ltr for regular use and 5 Ltr for bulk use. For more, send a bulk enquiry.
