Pyridoxine dicaprylate, the di-ester of pyridoxine with caprylic acid (3,4-dioctanoates) is used in cosmetic formulations. It 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 and thus improves combability).
