Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine is a multifunctional ingredient, a hair-conditioning agent, thickener, and emollient that appears as white to yellowish flakes. Incorporated in hair care applications, it improves wet and dry combing, polishes hair shine, reduces hair frizzy, and provides volume.

Ideal ingredient for stable and prosperous creamy formulations, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine is compatible with anionic surfactants, provides a superior antistatic effect, and is effective with other quaternary salts. After neutralization with an acid, it is an effective conditioning agent and can deliver a highly viscous conditioning system with good stability under high and freeze temperatures.

In hair cleansing applications,  Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine is compatible with some anionic surfactants and increases viscosity. It improves the wet feeling and conditioning effects of shampoo, as well. In coloration products, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine contributes as an emulsifier or thicker.

Improving the sensory profile of hair conditioning products, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine delivers better smoothness and combing performance in the case of dry hair. It is a safe, effective, and readily biodegradable ingredient.
