Oleamine oxide, also called oleylamine oxide, is an organic compound, an unsaturated fatty amine derived from oleic acid.
Oleamine oxide 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), as a surfactant (washing-active substance) and foaming agent (increases the foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam).
