Lauramidopropylamine oxide is a lauric acid derivative which is used in cosmetic formulations. Lauramidopropylamine oxide acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface of e.g. hair); furthermore, the substance acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance) and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
