Hydroxyethyl laurdimonium chloride, a quaternary ammonium salt of lauric acid, is a substance used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair) and hair conditioning agent (makes hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
