"stearamidopropyl" means the propylamide of stearic acid (octadecanamide)

The substance mixture is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance which is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine 2 immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to one emulsion) and as a hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
