Hydrogenated tallowamine oxide, (after engl. tallow = tallow), hydrogenated tallow-alkyldimethyl amines, substances which are extracted from beef tallow, are used in cosmetic formulations. The substances act as antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface of skin and hair), surfactant (washing-active substance), foaming agent (increases the foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam), solubilizer and viscosity regulator.
