About

Isostearamide Mea is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Isostearamide MEA is the isostearic acid (branched C18) amide of monoisopropanolamine. It functions as a viscosity-controlling agent and hair conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. The branched isostearic acid chain provides different physicochemical properties compared to linear chain amides, generally resulting in lighter and less waxy textures. Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, isostearamide MEA is not subject to specific restrictions.
