Coconut Loramide

Cocamide Diethanolamine, which is known as Coconut Loramide or Loramide, is an amber liquid, viscous and soluble in water, which is obtained from the reaction of an organic compound called DiEthanolAmine (DEA) with Fatty Acids obtained from Coconut oil. This substance is a non-ionic surfactant that reduces the surface or interfacial tensions so can help to mix the substances. In addition, Loramide as an emulsifier can stabilize cosmetic-detergent formulations. The Fatty Acid regions in the surfactant are changed through a chemical process to create a foaming agent, therefore, Cocamide DEA is used as a foaming agent in a large variety of detergents. This surfactant acts as a moisturizing and foaming agent in hair oil and shampoo and improves product quality. Loramide is also a thickener that increases the viscosity and stabilizes the texture of the products.

Detergents containing Loramide have many properties, for example, increasing the foaming capacity and also removing any oily contamination that may be present on the skin or hair. All of this makes Cocamide diethanolamine a common compound in the preparation of various shampoos, conditioners, soaps, dishwashing liquids, lotions, cosmetic products, and various skin and hair care products. Note that Cocamide DEA in cosmetic-detergent products should be used in applicable doses because this substance in long-time and high doses can cause sensitivity or increase the risk of cancer. Overall, it has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and is safe if you use it at the correct dose rate.
