Oleamide is the carboxylic acid amide of oleic acid, and "dimonium..." is a quaternary salt of dimethylammonium. PG stands for the acronym "Protecting Group" in a chemical formula.
Oleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair), surfactant (washing-active substance) and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
