Cocamide DEA Analysis by HPLC-MS

Cocamide DEA testing measures the concentration of cocamide diethanolamine (DEA) in cosmetic, personal care, and cleaning product formulations. Pentyl Labs performs this analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to provide sensitive and reliable results that support regulatory compliance and product safety.

Cocamide DEA is a surfactant and foam-boosting agent commonly used in shampoos, soaps, body washes, and cleaning products. However, regulatory agencies closely monitor its use due to potential concerns related to nitrosamine formation. For this reason, accurate quantification plays an important role in compliance and risk assessment.

Under California Proposition 65, cocamide DEA appears on the list of chemicals known to cause cancer. Products containing cocamide DEA above defined exposure thresholds may require additional evaluation or warning considerations. As a result, manufacturers often request analytical testing to understand ingredient levels and support compliance decisions.

Pentyl Labs conducts cocamide DEA analysis using validated HPLC-MS methods. This technique separates cocamide DEA from other formulation components and confirms its identity through mass detection. HPLC-MS provides high specificity and sensitivity, even in complex matrices such as surfactant-rich or fragranced products.

Testing may be performed on raw materials, in-process samples, or finished products. This flexibility allows manufacturers to assess cocamide DEA levels during formulation development, supplier qualification, or final product review. The resulting data supports internal safety evaluations, regulatory documentation, and audit readiness.

Cocamide DEA testing is often used alongside Proposition 65 Ingredient Reviews, nitrosamine screening, and broader Chemical Analysis Services. When used together, these services help manufacturers better understand formulation risk and prioritize follow-up actions.

Guidance from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) defines the Proposition 65 chemical list and compliance framework applied during these evaluations.

Overall, cocamide DEA testing provides clear, defensible analytical data that supports regulatory compliance, informed decision-making, and responsible product stewardship.
