Sesamidopropylamine oxide refers to the propylamide of sesame fatty acids.
Sesamidopropylamine oxide is used in cosmetic formulations. The mixture of substances acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of the products during application) as well as a foaming agent (increases foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
