Oleyl refers to oleyl alcohol (an unsaturated fatty alcohol) as the alcoholic part of a compound. "dimonium..." means a quaternary dimethylammonium salt, "chloride" means the salt of hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid).
Oleyl epoxypropyl dimonium chloride is used in cosmetic formulations. The compound acts as a hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
