DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Linoleamide DEA, also known as linoleic acid diethanolamide, 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), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
