Polymethacrylamidopropyltrimonium chloride is used in cosmetic formulations ("trimonium..." refers to a quaternary trimethylammonium salt). It acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair), combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface, thus improving combability), and film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied).
