GlossaryEthanolamine

chemical compound used in hair dyes and shampoos for pH adjustment

Ethanolamine, also known as 2-Aminoethanol or Monoethanolamine (MEA), is a chemical compound that serves as both an amine and an alcohol. It is commonly used in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and detergents, and also plays a role in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In the context of hair care, ethanolamine can be found in some hair dye formulations and shampoos, where it helps to adjust pH levels and improve the stability of the product.
