Potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed rice protein is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair) and as a combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface, thus improving combability).
