Colourless, slightly fishy-smelling compound. Triethanolamines easily react with fatty acids to form triethanolamine soaps and are used as basic components in soaps and cosmetics (e.g. in foaming shaving creams). Triethanolamine is a pharmaceutical excipient e.g. in pharmaceutical gels.

Technically triethanolamine is used as wetting agent for textiles and as softener in the leather industry.
