Lauramide/Myristamide DEA is a mixture of the diethanolamides of lauric acid and myristic acid (DEA = acronym for diethanolamide). The substance mixture is used in cosmetic formulations. Lauramide/myristamide DEA acts as surfactant (washing-active substance), antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair) and foam stabilizer (increases foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
