Dodecyldimethylamine oxide (LDAO / DDAO) or Lauramine Oxide is an amphoteric surfactant that acts as a foam booster and viscosity modifier in personal and home care formulations. It exhibits excellent performance across broad pH ranges and enhances mildness in cleansers. Also identified as Dodecyldimethylamine oxide and DDAO by speciality chemical suppliers and manufacturers, it finds usage in body washes, shampoos, and household cleaners.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
In biochemistry, LDAO is a "go-to" detergent for solubilising membrane-bound proteins and keeping them in their native, active conformation for X-ray crystallography or NMR
In industrial cleaning thickening synergist. When mixed with anionic surfactants like SLES, it creates a rod-like micelle structure that significantly increases the viscosity of the formula
Wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve the adhesion of the active ingredient to waxy leaf surfaces
