Hydroxyethyl stearamide-MIPA (MIPA is an acronym for monoisopropanolamine, an alkanolamine) is a substance used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. the hair), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and opacifier (clouds the transparency and translucency of cosmetic products).
