Tertiary amine neutraliser and pH adjuster for carbomer gels, lotions, liquid detergents and LABSA neutralisation.
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a tertiary amine and triol compound used as a pH adjuster, neutralizing agent, and emulsifier in cosmetic, personal care, household cleaning, and industrial formulations. It functions effectively by neutralizing acidic components—such as carbomers, organic acids, and fatty acids—to form stable emulsions, enhance clarity, and establish targeted pH levels. It is widely utilized across personal care preparations, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and surface care products.
