Frequently Asked Questions
What is isostearamide DEA used for?
Isostearamide DEA (CAS 93821-30-8) is the diethanolamide of isostearic acid, used in cosmetic and cleansing formulations as a viscosity-building thickener, a foam booster, and a co-emulsifier. It thickens surfactant cleansing systems and stabilizes foam in personal-care cleansers.
Is isostearamide DEA soluble in water?
Isostearamide DEA is a fatty diethanolamide; the diethanolamide head group gives it surfactant character, but its long branched C18 chain makes it only sparingly water-soluble and it is typically incorporated into surfactant systems rather than dissolved alone. Formulators should confirm solubility behavior in their own system.
What is the difference between isostearamide DEA and isostearyl isostearate?
They are different chemistries: isostearamide DEA (CAS 93821-30-8) is a diethanolamide of isostearic acid used as a thickener/foam booster, while isostearyl isostearate is an ester (isostearyl alcohol + isostearic acid) used as an emollient. One is an amide functional additive, the other an emollient ester.
What is the CAS number and HS code for isostearamide DEA?
The CAS number is 93821-30-8, the molecular formula is C22H45NO3, and the HS classification is 2924.19 (acyclic amides and derivatives, other). Lot-specific identity and specification are confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis.
How is isostearamide DEA supplied in bulk?
