Tea-undecylenoyl hydrolyzed collagen (inci)

"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. "Undecylenoyl" refers to undecylenic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid; "hydrolyzed collagen" refers to hydrolyzed liquid collagen.

TEA-undecylenoyl hydrolyzed collagen is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as a surfactant, antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair), skin care product (keeps the skin in good condition) and anti-dandruff agent.
