Hydroxystearamidopropyl trimonium methosulfate is a substance (in hydroxystearamide the carboxylic acid base of the amide consists of octadecanoic acid - also called stearic acid) which is 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. hair) and as a hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
