Cocomide is a widely used:

  1. Emulsifier

  2. Nonionic surfactant

  3. Anionic surfactant

  4. Preservative

The correct answer is: Nonionic surfactant

Cocomide is a widely used nonionic surfactant. Surfactants help to reduce the surface tension between two substances, making it easier for them to mix or spread. In this case, cocomide is a nonionic surfactant because it does not carry a charge when dissolved in water. This property makes it suitable for use in a variety of cosmetics and personal care products where a nonionic surfactant is needed.
