  • Description

General Description

FINECHEMO-MEA, also known as Monoethanolamine (MEA), is a versatile organic compound primarily used as a surfactant, emulsifier, and pH balancer in various cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is a colorless, water-soluble compound with an amine group and an alcohol group, making it effective in neutralizing acidic components in formulations. FINECHEMO-MEA is commonly used to stabilize emulsions, improve texture, and enhance the performance of other ingredients in skin and hair care products.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

FINECHEMO-MEA is widely used in a variety of cosmetic and personal care applications due to its emulsifying, pH-adjusting, and conditioning properties:

  • Acts as a surfactant and emulsifier, helping to create a stable and smooth product.
  • Used to balance the pH of formulations while providing mild cleansing action.
  • Helps stabilize emulsions and improve the texture and feel of the product.
  • Used in hair treatments to adjust pH levels and improve the effectiveness of the active ingredients.
  • Functions as a pH regulator and stabilizer in deodorizing formulations.
    Manufacturers commonly purchase FINECHEMO-MEA in bulk for large-scale production due to its multifunctionality and cost-effectiveness.

Hazards

While FINECHEMO-MEA is generally safe for use in cosmetic formulations, there are a few safety considerations:

  • In concentrated forms, FINECHEMO-MEA can cause skin irritation or dryness. Proper dilution in finished products is essential to minimize this risk.
  • Can cause severe irritation if it comes into contact with the eyes. Eye protection and care are required during handling.
  • Breathing in concentrated vapors or dust may cause respiratory irritation. It is advised to use protective equipment when handling large quantities.
  • While generally low in toxicity, FINECHEMO-MEA should not be ingested or allowed to come into prolonged contact with skin at high concentrations.
    FINECHEMO-MEA should be used within recommended concentrations to ensure safe and effective cosmetic formulations.

Storage & Stability

  • Store FINECHEMO-MEA in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
  • Stable in a wide range of formulations, FINECHEMO-MEA maintains its properties under typical cosmetic formulation conditions, though it should be handled with care to avoid exposure to high concentrations.
  • FINECHEMO-MEA is available for bulk and wholesale purchase, ideal for formulators looking for a cost-effective emulsifier and pH regulator for a variety of cosmetic products.
  • DETAILS

CAS Number: 141-43-5

INCI: Monoethanolamine

Composition: FINECHEMO-MEA is composed of a single molecule, Monoethanolamine (MEA), which consists of an ethanolamine derivative containing one amine group and one hydroxyl group. It is commonly used as a pH balancer, emulsifier, and surfactant in personal care and industrial formulations.

Purity Grade: Technical Grade (typically ≥ 99%)

Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid

Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol; miscible with most organic solvents

Preservation: Does not require additional preservatives, as it is stable under normal conditions. However, formulations containing Monoethanolamine should be properly pH-balanced to avoid instability.

Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight. Use in a well-ventilated area.

Raw Material Sources: Synthetic – typically derived from the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia.

Manufacture: Produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia to form ethanolamine, followed by distillation and purification to obtain Monoethanolamine.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (synthetic production, not derived from genetically modified organisms)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived ingredients

Proposition: FINECHEMO-MEA complies with relevant safety regulations, including those of the EU Cosmetics Regulation and U.S. FDA guidelines, for use in personal care products, household products, and industrial applications.

Warning: Handle with care. Monoethanolamine is corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use appropriate protective equipment such as gloves and safety goggles during handling. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

THE STORY OF FINECHEMO MEA

Finechemo MEA: The Essential pH Adjuster & Surfactant Builder for Cleansing Systems

Finechemo MEA is a versatile organic compound widely used in cosmetic and home-care formulations as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, neutralizing agent, and surfactant builder.
Known for its strong alkalinity and reactivity, it helps optimize foaming, cleaning, and viscosity.
Commonly used in shampoos, detergents, creams, lotions, and industrial cleaners.

Produced by Reacting Ethylene Oxide with Ammonia for High-Purity MEA

Finechemo MEA is synthesized through a controlled reaction between:
• Ethylene oxide
• Aqueous ammonia
followed by:
• Distillation
• Purification
• Safety-grade packaging
The result is a clear, hygroscopic, alkaline liquid used across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications.
TRCkem supplies high-purity Finechemo MEA (≥ 99%) suitable for cosmetic and detergent-grade formulations.

Neutralize. Stabilize. Boost Performance.

Finechemo MEA adds multiple functional advantages:
✅ Neutralizes fatty acids to form soap and emulsifiers
✅ Adjusts pH in creams, lotions & shampoos
✅ Builds foam & cleaning strength in detergents
✅ Enhances viscosity & stability in surfactant systems
✓ Helps solubilize oils & active ingredients
Used in: shampoos, liquid detergents, household cleaners, shaving creams, metal-cleaning fluids & industrial formulations.

Powerful Alkaline Agent — Use with Precision & Controlled Handling

• Typical use level:
– 0.1–5% in cosmetics
– 2–15% in detergents & industrial cleaners
• Always add slowly to avoid overheating
• Strong base → handle with PPE (gloves, goggles)
• Avoid skin & eye contact; corrosive in concentrated form
• Store in tightly sealed containers away from heat & moisture
• Compatible with most surfactants, fatty acids & emulsifiers
• Not recommended for leave-on skincare
