About Wheat Germamide DEA
Wheat Germamide DEA is a mixture of the diethanolamine salts of wheat germ fatty acids.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to increase the amount of foam and help prevent it from collapsing easily, to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth, and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[3] It is also used to adjust the viscosity and flow of the formulation.[3] In Europe, the secondary amine content of the finished product is limited to a maximum of 0.5%, and the nitrosamine content must not exceed 50 μg/kg.[2]
