Disodium lauriminodipropionate (inci)

Disodium lauriminodipropionate is a disodium salt of lauriminodipropionic acid. Disodium lauriminodipropionate is a substance which is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface, e.g. of hair), surfactant, skin cleanser and foaming agent (foaming by changing the surface tension of the liquid).
