Diethanolamine (DEA) is an amino alcohol commonly used in the preparation of soaps and surfactants, agricultural chemicals and in textile processing. DEA and DEA-Derivatives are used in other products besides cosmetics and personal care products. For example, DEA and DEA-derivatives have been approved for several food-related applications, primarily food packaging.

MICE: Groups of 50 male and 50 female mice were administered 0, 40, 80, or 160 mg diethanolamine/kg body weight in ethanol dermally for 2 years. In male mice, the incidences of hepatocellular adenoma and of hepatocellular adenoma or carcinoma (combined) in all dosed groups and of hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma in 80 and 160 mg/kg males were significantly increased compared to the vehicle controls.
Route of Administration:

Sperm suspension was incubated with different concentrations (100–500 ug/mL) of diethanolamine to evaluate sperm parameters such as sperm motility, sperm viability and sperm morphology. diethanolamine caused significant decrease in sperm motility and sperm viability which was concentration and time–dependent.
