  Cocamidopropyl dimethylamine

  Does this surfactant normally feel STICKY if you put a small amount on your skin?

  IF this is so, is it because it’s cationic?

  AND, does it kind of stink because of the amine moiety?

  I’m ignorant of this surfactant, so PLEASE be gentle with your response.

  Thanks! 🦉

  @Margaret The answer is yes, these tertiary amines all have an amino odor. Being cationic does not create sticky sensorial as a rule, but being a surfactant usually does.
