Distearyldimonium chloride, a stearyl alcohol product (1-octadecanol), acts in cosmetic formulations as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair) and hair conditioning agent (makes hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
