Lauramine oxide is a lauric acid derivative used in cosmetic formulations. Lauramine oxide acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair), surfactant (washing-active substance), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products), hair conditioner (makes hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume). The substance also cleans the body surface.
