Cocamide MIPA is used in Viscosity controlling.
Also, Cocamide MIPA is works in a variety of ways, including as an emulsifier, a stabilizer (in foams & emulsions), a thickener, a surfactant, an anticorrosive agent and a foaming agent. 

Function of Cocamide MIPA is very similar to that of Cocamide DEA and Cocamide MEA. 
Cocamide MIPA is mostly contained in personal care products such as shampoo, hair dye, conditioner, body wash, dandruff treatment, bubble bath, exfoliant/scrub, cleanser and liquid hand soap.

Cocamide mipa is an Emulsifying agent: Cocamide mipa Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil).
Cocamide mipa is an Emulsion Stabilizer: Cocamide mipa Aids the emulsification process and improves emulsion stability and shelf life.
Also, Cocamide mipa is a Foam Sinergist: Cocamide mipa Improves the quality of foam produced by increasing one or more of the following properties: volume, texture and/or stability.

Cocamide mipa is a Surfactant: Cocamide mipa Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of the product during use.
Also, Cocamide mipa is a Viscosity control agent: Cocamide mipa Increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetics.
Cocamide mipa Acts as an emulsifying agent: Cocamide mipa prohibits the oil and water molecules from disintegrating into their individual components.
And, Cocamide mipa Acts as a foaming agent: Cocamide mipa helps in the formulations to lather and foam better. It imparts a luxurious and rich feel to the products.

Cocamide mipa Works as a surfactant: Cocamide mipa is an effective surfactant as it reduces the surface tension helps in even distribution of the product when it is applied.
In addition, Cocamide mipa Controls viscosity of products: Cocamide mipa makes the product thicker and imparts a softer gel-like consistency which makes the application of the product easier.

Cocamide MIPA is a Mixture of isopropanolamides of coconut acid Cocamide MIPA uses and applications include: Foam boosterstabilizer, antidefatting agent for detergents, topical pharmaceuticals; surfactant, emulsifier, emulsion stabilizer, viscous control agent in cosmetics.
Cocamide MIPA is widely used to thicken the water phase of cosmetics, keep ingredients blended, and boost foaming properties. 
Additionally, Cocamide MIPA is Derived from plants (typically coconut oil) or made synthetically, these ingredients have been thoroughly evaluated for safety and are permitted for use in leave-on products in concentrations up to 10%.

DESCRIPTION

Amides are generally reaction products of carboxylic acids (mostly fatty acids) or other acids with nitrogen compounds (ammonia or alkyl and alkanolamines, amino acids, etc.) 
Examples: "Steraramides" are amides of stearic acid, "cocamide" are amides of coconut fatty acids.
"MIPA" refers to an alkylamine moiety [N-(2-hydroxypropyl)amine] or a salt of monoisopropanolamine (MIPA).

Cocamide MIPA is a mixture of isopropanolamides of coconut acid. Also known as cocamide monoisopropanolamine. 
Cocamide MIPA functions as a surfactant, viscosity increasing agent, emulsifier and stabilizer. 
Market applications of Cocamide MIPA are shampoo, hair dye, conditioner, body wash, liquid hand soap.

Background information on use in cosmetics:

Surfactants are so-called washing-active substances and are of great importance in cosmetics for cleaning the skin and hair. 
Surfactants (from the Latin "tensus" = tense) are substances that, thanks to their molecular structure, are able to reduce the surface tension of a liquid. 
In this way, two liquids that are actually not miscible, such as oil and water, can be finely mixed. 

Because of their properties, surfactants are used in many different ways in cosmetics: They can clean, create foam, and also act as emulsifiers and mix substances with one another. 
In shampoos, shower gels and soaps, for example, surfactants are used to wash away fat and dirt particles from the body with water. 
Surfactants are also used in toothpaste.

The surfactants used in cosmetic products are mainly produced synthetically on the basis of plant-based raw materials. 
Surfactants are often used in combination in order to meet all desired requirements - such as dirt removal and foam formation combined with good skin compatibility - in the best possible way. 
A skilful combination of a tenside with unfavorable skin compatibility, but very good dirt-dissolving properties, and a very mild, skin-friendly tenside - viewed on its own - results in a product with good cleaning properties and equally good skin compatibility.

Emulsifiers are often used as auxiliary substances in cosmetics. 
They make it possible to bring components that are actually not miscible with each other, such as oil and water, into a permanently stable emulsion. 
In cosmetic products, both aqueous and oily care and active ingredients can be used in a single product. 

Emulsifiers are able to do this because their molecules consist of a fat-loving (lipophilic) and a water-loving (hydrophilic) part. 
This allows them to reduce the interfacial tension that actually exists between two incompatible substances such as fat and water. 
Emulsifiers are used in particular for creams, lotions and cleaning agents. 
In the meantime, however, emulsifiers are much more than just auxiliary substances that keep an emulsion stable. fatty acid esters based on sugar,
