Coco diethanolamide (CDE)

Coco Diethanolamide (CDE), also known as Cocamide DEA, is a non-ionic surfactant and foam booster derived from coconut oil. It is widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps. Its dual role as a thickening agent and foam stabilizer makes it highly valued in formulations where rich lather, enhanced viscosity, and a gentle cleansing effect are required. At System Star Industrial Products, we offer premium-grade, cosmetic-compliant CDE that delivers consistency, safety, and excellent performance across diverse formulations.

Produced under controlled conditions, our CDE offers high purity, low free amine content, and reliable viscosity. It is easily suitable when used in cold or hot processes. Hence, enabling streamlined manufacturing for both artisanal and large-scale brands. Whether you’re formulating eco-friendly hair care or everyday personal cleansers, our CDE supports smooth production and exceptional end-user experience.
