Triethanolamine, or TEOA, is an organic compound with the chemical formula N (CH2CH2OH)3. It is a colourless, viscous liquid. It is both a tertiary amine and a triol. A triol is a molecule with three alcohol groups. Approximately 150,000 tonnes were produced in 1999. [3] .

Trolamine, which is also referred to as triethanolamine (TEA), is a tertiary amine and a triol. It is a bifunctional compound that exhibits both properties of alcohols and amines. Trolamine contains small amounts of diethanolamine and ethanolamine and may also act as an antioxidant against the auto-oxidation of animal and vegetable fats.

Triethanolamine is a compound with a slight ammonia smell; think of hair dyes. The thick, colorless liquid helps reduce the surface tension of products. It also helps to mix oil and water-based products to create a smooth, stable formulation.

Triethanolamine is commercially available with the following specifications: purity, 99.0% min.; monoethanolamine, 0.05% max.; diethanolamine, 0.40% max. (see monograph in this volume); and water content, 0.20% max. (Dow Chemical Company, 1999b).

Triethanolamine is a strongly alkaline substance used as surfactant and pH adjusting chemical. See how this product scores for common concerns. Cosmetics and personal care products are not required to be tested for safety before being allowed on the market.
