Behenyl betaine, a derivative of behenic acid, has an antistatic effect in cosmetic products (it reduces static electricity and neutralizes the electrical charge on the surface of the skin and hair) and its properties make hair easier to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and give it more volume. Furthermore the substance acts as a surfactant.
