Description
What is Mono Ethanal Amine?
Monoethanolamine, also written as Mono Ethanal Amine or MEA, is an organic monoethanolamine chemical. It serves as a pH adjuster and emulsifier in personal care manufacturing. You will find it used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand washes, creams, and lotions.
The high purity 99% grade means you work with a strong, low-impurity form. Compared to lower grades, it gives you better control and value. This delivers strong performance with less material and lower shipping weight per batch.
Why Formulators Use Mono Ethanal Amine
- Strong pH Control: It raises and stabilizes pH quickly and reliably. This is very important for product safety and texture, especially when manufacturing in different cities across Pakistan with varying water quality.
- Excellent Emulsifier: It blends oil and water phases smoothly. Your creams, lotions, and cleansing products stay stable and look professional on the shelf.
- Works Well With Other Ingredients: Mono Ethanal Amine is compatible with the most common surfactants, thickeners, and preservatives used in cosmetic production. It pairs well with:
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) for strong cleansing
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) for added mildness
- Cocamide DEA or MEA for viscosity and foam
- Sodium Chloride (NaCl) for thickening
- Citric Acid (to fine-tune pH if needed)
- Cost-Efficient at Scale: Because you are buying 99% active concentrate, you get more performance per kilogram compared to diluted options. As your production volume increases, the monoethanolamine price per kg becomes very attractive. This helps small-scale manufacturers grow without high raw material costs.
How to Use Mono Ethanal Amine in Your Formulations
Handling Note:
Mono Ethanal Amine is a liquid at room temperature. It has a strong ammonia smell, so always work in a well-ventilated area. Wear gloves and eye protection. Add it slowly with gentle stirring. Avoid high-speed mixing that can introduce air.
Extent of Use, By Type of Product:
| Product Type | Mono Ethanal Amine in Formula (by weight) |
| Shampoo (standard) | 0.5% to 2% |
| Shampoo (volumising) | 0.8% to 2.5% |
| Body Wash / Shower Gel | 0.5% to 1.5% |
| Liquid Hand Wash | 0.5% to 2% |
| Facial Cleanser (mild) | 0.2% to 1% |
| Creams and Lotions | 0.5% to 2% |
Target pH: For hair products, adjust the pH between 5.5 and 6.5, and for skin products, between 5.0 and 6.0. Use Mono Ethanal Amine to raise pH. Use citric acid or lactic acid to lower pH if needed. Always test with a pH meter.
Formulation Build Order:
- Heat water phase until 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
- Add surfactants, thickeners, and other main ingredients with gentle stirring.
- Add Mono Ethanal Amine slowly until you reach the target pH.
- Cool down to below 40 degrees before the addition of heat-sensitive actives.
- Add fragrance, preservative, and conditioning agents at room temperature.
- Final pH check and small adjustment if required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Monoethanolamine and Triethanolamine?
A: Monoethanolamine is stronger for pH adjustment and works well in hair care products. Triethanolamine is milder and often preferred in lotions and creams.
Q: Is Mono Ethanal Amine safe for daily use products like shampoo?
A: Yes, at recommended levels it is safe and widely used in rinse-off personal care products across the industry. Always test your final formula.
Q: How much Monoethanolamine should I add to adjust pH?
A: Start with 0.5 percent and check the pH. Add small amounts until you reach your target. Record the amount for future batches.
Q: Does Monoethanolamine work in hard water?
A: Yes. It performs consistently in hard water, which makes it suitable for manufacturing and end-use across different regions of Pakistan.
Q: How should I store Mono Ethanal Amine?
A: Store in a cool and dry place, protected from direct sunlight and strong acids. Shelf life is 2 years if it is stored under proper conditions. Always keep the container carefully sealed after each use.
