Triethanolamine, often abbreviated as TEA, is an organic chemical compound which is both a tertiary amine and a tri-alcohol.

This ingredient is used as a pH balancer in cosmetic preparations in a variety of different products - ranging from skin lotion, eye gels, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving foams etc.

check the spelling...never seen this one..

do you mean triethlyamine? I couldn't find what you wrote but there were plenty of resources for triethylamine. Unfortunately, they all seemed to explain this compound in terms way beyond my scientific knowledge.

Not sure about that. I use a moisturizer for my face that works for my sensitive skin, but doesn't have SPF. The base make up I use has SPF 15. Anything much higher than that can irritate my face. I avoid overexposure and use a waterproof SPF if I go swimming.
