"TEA" is the acronym for triethanolamine, a quaternary ammonium compound. Triethanolamine reacts easily with fatty acids to form triethanolamine soaps and is used as a basic component in soaps and other cosmetic products. Sulfates are salts or esters of sulfuric acid.
TEA-sulfates are substances used in cosmetic formulations where they act as buffer substances (regulate and stabilize the pH value of cosmetic products).
