What Are Anti-Static Ingredients?
Tridodecylamine has anti-static characteristics.
Anti-static ingredients are used in cosmetic products to help prevent static electricity from building up on your skin or hair. Static electricity can cause your hair to stick to your face, your makeup to cling to your skin unflatteringly, or even cause an uncomfortable shock.
These ingredients create a barrier on the surface of your skin or hair, which helps neutralize any electrical charge that might be present. This means that static electricity is less likely to build up, so your hair and makeup stay in place, and you don't have to worry about uncomfortable shocks.
