Coconut Fatty Acid Monoethanolamide (CFA-MEA) is a non-ionic surfactant based on coconut oil and ethanolamine. Due to its conditioning power, foam boosting, and viscosity enhancement compared to other alkanolamides even at low electrolyte concentrations, lack of methyl ester odor, and the absence of nitrosamines (carcinogenic agents) and methanol in its formulation, it has become a unique surfactant in the production of personal care and detergent products.
