Vegetamide 18MEA NJ lipid conditioning ingredient 18 Methyl Eicosanoic Acid for hair care formulations
Vegetamide 18MEA NJ is a specialized 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. In formulation practice it is incorporated into the oil phase and distributes evenly within emulsions and conditioning systems.
Due to lipid compatibility and formulation stability the ingredient is widely used in professional cosmetic development.
Properties and performance in formulations
Within cosmetic formulations Vegetamide 18MEA NJ distributes evenly in the lipid phase and creates smooth product texture. Formulations containing the ingredient demonstrate soft sensory profile and even spreading 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 28 g
Cetearyl alcohol 35 g
Jojoba oil 70 ml
Macadamia oil 50 ml
Cationic conditioning polymer 22 g
Purified water 450 ml
Glycerin 50 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 separately by mixing purified water with glycerin 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.
