"Sodium" refers to the element sodium, "carboxymethyl" means that individual hydroxy groups (mostly of sugar molecules) are linked to a carboxymethyl group (-CH2-COOH) as ether.
Sodium carboxymethyl dextran is a substance used in cosmetic preparations where it acts as a binder (binds cosmetic preparations containing powders and powders), hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair).
