BENEFITS OF COCAMIDE MIPA
The versatile Cocamide MIPA has the following benefits:
1.Acts as an emulsifying agent: It prohibits the oil and water molecules from disintegrating into their individual components.
2.Acts as a foaming agent: It helps in the formulations to lather and foam better. It imparts a luxurious and rich feel to the products.
3.Works as a surfactant: It is an effective surfactant as it reduces the surface tension helps in even distribution of the product when it is applied.
4.Controls viscosity of products: It makes the product thicker and imparts a softer gel-like consistency which makes the application of the product easier.
