Dicetyldimonium chloride is a preparation used in cosmetic products. Dicetyldimonium chloride acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair). Furthermore, the substance acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance) and as an emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together).
