PEG-2 TALLOWAMIDE DEA

INCI: PEG-2 TALLOWAMIDE DEA | Function: Surfactant, Foam Booster, Viscosity Control | Type: PEG Tallowamide DEA

What Is PEG-2 TALLOWAMIDE DEA?

PEG-2 TALLOWAMIDE DEA 是一种PEG化牛脂酰胺DEA（Diethanolamine）衍生物，由牛脂酰胺与DEA和PEG-2反应制得。作为非离子表面活性剂，在清洁产品中提供优异的增泡、稳泡和增稠效果。(PEG-2 TALLOWAMIDE DEA is a PEGylated tallowamide DEA derivative. As a non-ionic surfactant, it provides excellent foam boosting, foam stabilization, and thickening in cleansing products.)

Key Skin Benefits

+ 强效增泡 — 显著提升泡沫丰富度 (Strong foam boosting — significantly enhances foam volume)
+ 增稠 — 帮助调节产品粘度 (Thickening — helps adjust product viscosity)

Pros

+ 泡沫丰富 — 少量即可大幅提升泡沫 (Rich foam — small amounts dramatically improve foam)
+ 降刺激 — 降低阴离子表活的脱脂力 (Irritation reduction — lowers degreasing power of anionic surfactants)

Cons

− 动物来源 — 牛脂衍生物，非素食 (Animal-derived — tallow derivative, not vegan)
− 含DEA — 二乙醇胺可能生成亚硝胺（需控制） (Contains DEA — diethanolamine may form nitrosamines (requires control))
− 含PEG — 环氧乙烷工艺 (Contains PEG — ethylene oxide process)
− 仅冲洗型 — 不建议用于驻留产品 (Rinse-off only — not recommended for leave-on)
