Myristamine oxide is an amine oxide based zwitterionic surfactant with a C14 (tetradecyl) alkyl tail.
It is used as a foam stabilizer and hair conditioning agent in some shampoos and conditioners.
Like other amine oxide based surfactants it is antimicrobial, being slightly more effective than lauryldimethylamine oxide against the common bacteria S. aureus and E. coli.

Its functions (INCI)
Antistatic: Reduces static electricity by neutralizing electrical charge on a surface
Cleaning Agent: Helps keep a clean surface
Emulsifying agent: Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil)
Foam Sinergiste: Improves the quality of the foam produced by increasing one or more of the following properties: volume, texture and / or stability
Hair conditioner: Leaves hair manageable, supple, soft and shiny and / or confers volume, lightness and shine
Hydrotrope: Increases the solubility of a substance which is poorly soluble in water.
Surfactant: Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the uniform distribution of the product during its use
Myristamine oxide is a versatile amphoteric surfactant predominantly used in the formulation of personal care products, HI&I cleaners and laundry detergents serving as a foam booster and stabilizer, viscosity builder and surfactant formulations' detergency elevator.
Myristamine oxide is stable in hard waters, acidic environments, highly electrolyte and hypochlorite bleaching solutions.
At lower pH values it earns partially cationic character leading to a conditioning effect on hair and skin, thus being widely used in conditioners, liquid soaps and shaving foams.
Owing to its unique properties Myristamine oxide is used in many other industrial applications.
