Cocamide MEA, also known as Cocamide Monoethanolamine or Coco Mono Ethanol Amide. It is a nonionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and ethanolamine. It is widely used as a foaming agent, emulsifier, and viscosity enhancer in shampoos, body washes, soaps, and other personal care products. Cocamide MEA's CAS number is 68140-00-1, and its molecular formula is CH3(CH2)NCONHCH2CH2OH. Scimplify is a trusted Cocamide MEA manufacturer and supplier in the USA, offering high purity (95%) Cocamide Monoethanolamine across the United States. Our Cocamide Monoethanolamine complies with US standards, and we provide competitor prices (USD) with reliable lead times. We offer SDS and COA for cocamide MEA upon request.

Cocamide MEA is widely used by shampoo manufacturers, cosmetic formulators, and personal care product suppliers in the USA. US-based cosmetic manufacturers rely on Cocamide Monoethanolamine suppliers for delivering rich lather, improved texture, and enhanced formulation stability.
As a trusted Cocamide MEA supplier and manufacturer in the USA, Scimplify supports detergent and home-care chemical producers that require high-performance surfactants. Cocamide MEA is used in dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, floor cleaners, and multi-purpose cleaning sprays to boost foam quality and improve cleaning performance.
Cocamide MEA is commonly used by oilfield chemical manufacturers as a foam enhancer and emulsifier in drilling fluids, rig wash solutions, and oil-in-water systems.
US agrochemical suppliers and pesticide formulation companies use Cocamide MEA to improve wetting, spreadability, and emulsification in fertilizers, pesticide emulsions, and adjuvant blends.

Coco Mono Ethanol Amide (CMEA) is a non-ionic surfactant, while Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is an amphoteric (or zwitterionic) surfactant.
CMEA works well in a neutral to alkaline pH range (8.5–10.5), whereas CAPB is highly adaptable and functions effectively over a wide pH range.
CMEA is produced through reaction called amidation, where a mixture of fatty acids derived from coconut oil reacts with monoethanolamine and processed into its final waxy, flaked form.
CMEA serves several important functions in formulations like shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps.
Yes, cosmetic-grade CMEA is univesally approved, but concentration is controlled to minimize irritation.
Export ready with COA, TDS, SDS, and compliance certificates are provided with each batch. What are the packaging options? 25 kg bags or cartons, with bulk supply available.
