Dimethyl palmitamine, a dimethylamine of palmitic acid (cetylic acid) is a substance used in cosmetic formulations.
Dimethyl palmitamine acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface) and as an emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together).
