Dihydroxyethyl cocamine oxide is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair). Dihydroxyethyl cocamine oxide also acts as a surfactant and emulsion stabilizer (improves the resistance and durability of emulsions).
