Oleamidopropyldimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed collagen (inci)

Oleamide is the carboxylic acid amide of oleic acid. "Dimonium" refers to a quaternary dimethylammonium salt. "Hydrolyzed collagen" is a collagen hydrolysate from animal connective tissue, especially from bovine collagen (in Asia, collagen hydrolysates are often obtained from Pacific fish species (cod) or from chicken collagen).

Oleamidopropyldimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed collagen is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair), surfactant (washing-active substance), hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and skin care product.
