The functions as the cosmetic ingredient
ANTISTATIC : Cocamine oxide prevents and/or reduces static electricity by neutralising electrical charge on surfaces.
CLEANSING : Cocamine oxide helps to keep the body surface clean.
HAIR CONDITIONING : Cocamine oxide enhances the appearance and feel of hair. leaving the hair easy to comb, supple, soft and shiny and/or imparting volume, lightness, gloss, texture, etc.
SURFACTANT - CLEANSING : wetting body surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil (generally, such ingredients contribute to the foaming and lathering properties of cleansing products).
SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING : increasing foaming capacity and/or stabilize foams in general.
SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE : enhancing the water solubility of another surfactant.

Actions:
Cocamine oxide cleans the surface of the skin and hair, effectively removing dirt
