TEA-laurate is a triethanolamine salt of Lauric Acid.
TEA-laurate is a Triethanolamine salt of lauric acid TEA-laurate.

TEA-laurate is the acronym for triethanolamine, a quaternary ammonium compound. 
TEA-laurate reacts easily with fatty acids to form triethanolamine soaps and is used as a basic component in soaps and other cosmetic products. 

TEA-laurates are salts or esters of lauric acid (dodecanoic acid).
TEA-laurate is a substance which is used in cosmetic formulations where TEA-laurate acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance.

TEA-laurate is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to form an emulsion) and foaming agent (increases the foam formation and improves the volume, structure and durability of the foam).
TEA-laurate is a rare cosmetic ingredient, with about 0.00% of the products in our database containing TEA-laurate.

USES OF TEA-LAURATE:

-foaming agents

-surfactants

-Use as cleansing agent.

-Use as emulsifying agent, dispersing agent.

-Use as lubricant.

-Cleansing agent, 

-emulsifying agent, 

-foaming agent in personal care products.

FUNCTION OF TEA-LAURATE:

-Emulsifying: Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil)

-Foaming: Capturing small air bubbles or other gases in a small volume of liquid by changing the surface tension of the liquid

-Surfactant: Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of the product when it is used

-surfactant - cleansing agent 

-surfactant - emulsifying agent 

-emulsifying 

-foaming and surfactant
