Brassicamidopropyl Dimethylamine, also known by the names angin, leopard flower, leopard lily, blackberry lily, Iris domestica, Ixia chinensis or She Gan, is a substance widely used in the cosmetic industry. It comes from a plant in the Brassicaceae family, also known in English as borage. It is a flowering plant that is native to Asia, specifically China, Korea and Japan. The tradition of its use has roots deep in Chinese medicine, especially for its therapeutic effects on respiratory ailments. In the world of cosmetics, this substance is increasingly attractive for its benefits to the skin.

Brassicamidopropyl Dimethylamines are found in a wide range of cosmetic products, including shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, creams, body lotions and more. This ingredient is becoming increasingly popular due to its conditioning properties. It has been reported to improve the condition of both hair and skin, for example by moisturizing the skin and keeping hair soft and shiny. It is also used as an emulsifier, which is a substance that allows two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, to mix. For this reason, it is often present in skin creams and other cosmetic products that are meant to improve and soften the skin.
