Olivamidopropylamine oxide is used in cosmetic formulations. The compound acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance), hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume), foaming agent (increases the foam formation and improves the volume, structure and durability of the foam) and solvent (acts hydrotropically, i.e. it increases the solubility of a substance which is only slightly soluble in water).
