Vegetamide 18MEA-NJ 100 ml

Vegetamide 18MEA NJ lipid ingredient 18 Methyl Eicosanoic Acid for conditioning formulations

Vegetamide 18MEA NJ is a functional lipid ingredient based on 18 Methyl Eicosanoic Acid used in hair care and cosmetic formulations. The material appears as a soft wax like or viscous lipid substance with light cream to pale yellow coloration.

The ingredient belongs to lipophilic materials and dissolves in plant oils, emollients and fatty alcohols. Due to compatibility with lipid systems the material is incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions and conditioning formulations.

The ingredient demonstrates stability in cosmetic systems and is widely used in formulation development and industrial manufacturing.

Properties and performance in formulations

In cosmetic systems Vegetamide 18MEA NJ distributes evenly in the lipid phase and forms smooth product texture. Formulations containing the ingredient provide soft sensory profile and even distribution on hair surface.

The compositions maintain homogeneous structure and stable consistency.

Industry applications

Vegetamide 18MEA NJ is used in hair conditioners, hair masks, balms and shampoos. The ingredient is also incorporated into skin creams, emulsions and cosmetic balms.

The material is widely used in professional cosmetic lines, formulation laboratories, private label development and contract manufacturing.

Formula example

Vegetamide 18MEA NJ 22 g
Cetearyl alcohol 32 g
Avocado oil 70 ml
Argan oil 50 ml
Cationic conditioning polymer 20 g
Purified water 440 ml
Propanediol 45 g

The oil phase is prepared by combining Vegetamide 18MEA NJ with cetearyl alcohol and plant oils followed by heating until a uniform mixture forms. The water phase is prepared by mixing purified water with propanediol and heating to the same temperature. The water phase is then incorporated into the oil phase with mixing to form an emulsion. After emulsification the conditioning polymer is introduced and the mixture is stirred until stable cream texture forms. During cooling the pH is adjusted to obtain formulation stability.

Vegetamide 18MEA NJ is widely used in professional cosmetic formulation and industrial manufacturing where lipid conditioning ingredients support reproducible scalable production.
