  Triethanolamine uses

  Posted by Batoul on August 1, 2021 at 9:21 am

  Is it safe to use TEA as pH adjuster in products applied to mucous membranes?
  The percentage is NMT 0.1%

  Thank you for helping.

  As long as you use 99% TEA, not the 85% carrying DEA, I don’t see why not, but TrisAmino (tromethamine) from ANGUS is much safer to apply in “those places”.
