Disodium wheatgermamphodiacetate, a surfactant, is used in cosmetic preparations. Furthermore, the substance acts as a foaming agent (improves volume, structure and durability of the foam), solubilizer (increases the solubility of a substance which is hardly soluble in water) and as a hair conditioner.

Wheatgermamphodiacetate stands for "wheatgerm-oil acyl derivatives", for fatty acid derivatives from wheat germ oils (see below cereal germ oils).
