Hydrogenated tallowamines, hydrogenated or hardened tallow alkyl amines from beef tallow, are used in cosmetic formulations. The substances act as emulsifiers (change the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together), surfactants (washing-active substances), antistatic agents (reduce static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair).
