About

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

Oleamide MEA (monoethanolamide of oleic acid) is a fatty acid amide used as a skin-conditioning, antistatic, and viscosity-controlling agent in cosmetic formulations. It is not listed in EU Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted), indicating no major regulatory concerns.
