DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Linoleamide, also known as linoleic acid amide, is almost insoluble in water due to its lipid structure. It 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), opacifier (clouds the transparency and translucency of cosmetic products) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
