Triethanolamine (85%) – 1L
pH Balancer and Emulsifier for Cosmetics and Soaps
Triethanolamine (TEA) 85% is a versatile, water-soluble compound widely used in cosmetic, soap, and personal care formulations. It acts as an effective pH adjuster and emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients smoothly. As a result, TEA improves texture, stability, and overall performance of lotions, creams, shampoos, and soaps.
Because it neutralizes fatty acids, Triethanolamine creates a creamy, stable base that enhances product feel and longevity. It also helps reduce irritation by balancing pH to match the skin’s natural level. This makes it a popular choice among formulators seeking smooth, well-balanced products.
