Product Description:

Triethanolamine (TEA) is a versatile pH adjuster and emulsifier commonly used in cosmetic formulations. It helps balance the pH of acidic products to ensure stability and skin compatibility. Additionally, TEA enhances the stability of emulsifiers like Stearic Acid, contributing to a smooth and uniform texture in lotions, creams, gels, shampoos, and other personal care products. Its ability to maintain the right pH balance makes it an essential component in a wide range of formulations.
