Myristamidopropylamine oxide is a substance used in cosmetic formulations. "Myristamide" means the amide of myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid amide). The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface of e.g. hair), surfactant (washing-active substance), hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
