Pyridoxine dioctenoate, the di-ester of pyridoxine with the fatty acid "octenoate acid", is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example 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).
