Soyaethyl morpholinium ethosulfate is a quaternary ammonium salt based on ester compounds with saturated and unsaturated soya fatty acids.
The soy mixture is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance which is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine 2 immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to one emulsion) and as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair).
