In personal care
A fatty amine derived from stearic acid, a common conditioning ingredient built for hair care formulas.
Why it’s used
Functions as a conditioning agent and mild emulsifier, especially in conditioners and leave-in hair products, where it helps detangle and smooth hair and reduce static.
Context
Used at low percentages, generally under 3 percent, in hair conditioners and styling products. Its salt forms neutralize the amine, which is standard formulation practice to keep pH and irritation potential in check.
