Cola® Liquid DC

INCI Name
Cocamide DIPA

Cola®Liquid DC is a DEA-free liquid non-ionic surfactant derived from triglyceride oil. Cola®Liquid DC provides excellent foam boosting, viscosity building and foam stabilizing properties. It will readily solubilize most fragrances and essential oils into anionic systems. The product is liquid and very mild to eyes and skin. Cola®Liquid DC can be used in any application where traditional alkanolamide surfactants have been used. Cola®Liquid DC will also boost and maintain foam levels over non-amide systems and other personal care formulations. Cola®Liquid DC combines the best properties of the coco MEA amide and coco DEA amide into one product. The use level for Cola®Liquid DC is going to be typical of those for similar alcohol amide surfactants, generally in the range of 1% to 5% in personal care products.
