Primary Properties
Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine serves as a mild surfactant that removes dirt build-up from the hair. It imparts a soft and silky feel to the hair, making it easier to comb through. It possesses a positive charge which can help offset the negative charge from shampooing the hair and is a cheaper alternative to other conditioners. It does not suppress foam and can be used with anionic surfactants and also helps to build the viscosity of the formulation.
