Coconut oil monoethanolamide Usage And Synthesis
Uses Coconut Oil Monoethanolamide can be used for cosmetic cleansing compositions that are free of sodium chloride and sulfate-based surfactants.
Definition ChEBI: N-(dodecanoyl)ethanolamine is an N-(long-chain-acyl)ethanolamine resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of dodecanoic acid (myristic acid) with the amino group of ethanolamine. It is a N-(long-chain-acyl)ethanolamine and a N-(saturated fatty acyl)ethanolamine. It is functionally related to a dodecanoic acid.
