"Lauryl" refers to lauryl alcohol (1-dodecanol) as the alcoholic component. Lauryl hydroxyethyl imidazoline is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface of e.g. hair), hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and surfactant.
