Triundecanoin is a glycerol undecanoic acid tri-ester used in cosmetic formulations. The fatty acid tri-ester acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair), emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple), hair conditioner (makes the hair easy to comb, soft, smooth and shiny and gives it volume), solvent (dissolves other substances) and as a skin care product (keeps the skin in good condition).
