What Is Lauryl Diethanolamide?

Lauryl Diethanolamide (LDEA) is a non-ionic surfactant produced by the condensation of lauric acid (or coconut-derived fatty acids rich in C12 fractions) with diethanolamine. It typically appears as a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid or waxy solid, depending on the fatty acid composition and manufacturing ratio.

LDEA functions primarily as a foam booster, viscosity builder, and secondary surfactant in personal care and household cleaning formulations. When combined with anionic primary surfactants such as sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) or linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), it substantially enhances foam density, creaminess, and stability while contributing controlled thickening effects.

Key Functions

LDEA delivers multiple functional roles across foaming enhancement, emulsification, viscosity building, and mild cleansing.

Foam Enhancement
Improves foam richness and stability in shampoos, body washes, and bubble bath formulations.
Viscosity Building
Acts as a thickener in surfactant systems, helping achieve desirable product texture.
Mild Cleansing
Provides gentle cleansing suitable for sensitive skin and baby‑care formulations.
Emulsification
Helps emulsify oils and stabilize formulations in personal care and cleaning products.
Degreasing & Cleaning
Enhances cleaning efficiency in dishwashing liquids and industrial detergents.

Applications

Lauryl Diethanolamide is widely used across personal care, household cleaning, industrial detergents, textile processing, and animal hygiene due to its mildness, foaming performance, and emulsifying capability.

Personal Care Products
Used in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble bath products for foam boosting and mild cleansing.
Household Cleaning Products
Applied in dishwashing liquids and household cleaners for degreasing, foaming, and easy rinsing.
Industrial Applications
Used in industrial cleaning agents for emulsifying oils, removing grease, and improving cleaning efficiency.
Agricultural & Veterinary
Used in pet shampoos and animal hygiene products due to its mildness and foaming properties.
Textile & Leather Processing
Functions as a scouring agent to remove oils and impurities during fabric and leather preparation.
