chemical compound used to balance pH and emulsify products

Triethanolamine, often abbreviated as TEA, is a chemical compound commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as a pH balancer and emulsifier. It helps to stabilize and blend ingredients that typically don't mix well, such as oil and water. In the context of hair care, TEA can be found in shampoos and conditioners to ensure a smooth, consistent texture and to enhance the product's effectiveness.
