"Sodium" refers to the element sodium, "tallow" to the base beef tallow. Sodium carboxyethyl tallow polypropylamine is a substance used in cosmetic preparations where it acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance), hair conditioner (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair).
