Amide of the saturated monocarboxylic acid behenic acid. Behenamidpropyl dimethylamine has antistatic effects in cosmetics (static charges are reduced; electrical charges on the surface of skin and hair are neutralized). Its properties make hair easier to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and give it more volume. It is also used as an emulsifier.
