Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Gentle and Effective Cleanser: Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mild amphoteric surfactant that cleanses the skin without stripping or causing irritation. It is a staple ingredient for hand soaps, body washes, baby shampoos, and other gentle cleansing formulations.
Rich and Stable Lather: Known to increase foam volume and stability, Cocamidopropyl Betaine enhances lather in sulfate-based and sulfate-free products, creating a dense, lasting texture that elevates the user experience.
Versatile Co-Surfactant: When paired with anionic and non-ionic surfactants, Cocamidopropyl Betaine improves overall product performance by enhancing viscosity, formula mildness, and grease-cutting ability.
Conditioning & Antistatic Benefits: Cocamidopropyl Betaine is especially beneficial in hair care products because it contributes slip and manageability while helping reduce static. It's commonly used in shampoos, 2-in-1 cleansing systems, and pet grooming products to deliver a smoother, softer feel.
DESCRIPTION
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a colorless to light-yellow liquid amphoteric surfactant derived from organic coconut compounds. Valued for its mildness, lather enhancement, and compatibility with a wide range of surfactants, CAPB is a cornerstone ingredient for modern cleansing formulations.
In personal care products, CAPB’s gentle nature is suitable for daily-use and sensitive-skin products including body washes, facial cleansers, baby formulations, and tear-free shampoos. It enhances foam quality, adds a silky after-feel, and helps reduce the potential irritation of primary surfactants.
In household and industrial cleaning systems, such as dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, car washes, and industrial degreasers, CAPB supports effective soil removal by improving wetting and degreasing performance. Its ability to boost viscosity and reduce harshness makes it a highly versatile co-surfactant in complex detergent systems.
With its excellent solubility, mild profile, and conditioning characteristics, Cocamidopropyl Betaine delivers reliable performance across an impressive range of formulation types, from gentle skincare cleansers to heavy-duty cleaning solutions.
DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE
-
Gentle Face & Body Cleansers: For hand soaps, body washes, bubble bath formulations, and facial cleansers, incorporate 4–15% CAPB to enhance mildness and boost luxurious foam. Combine with anionic surfactants to reduce skin irritation and improve texture.
-
Professional Hair Care Lines: In shampoos, conditioning cleansers, and pet grooming shampoos, use 5–20% to achieve rich lather, improved viscosity, and conditioning performance.
-
Household & Industrial Cleaners: For dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, car washes, and degreasers, add 10–40% Cocamidopropyl Betaine depending on desired foam, strength, and system viscosity.
Formulation Tips:
- Compatible with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants.
- Add directly to the aqueous phase during formulation.
- Can help thicken systems containing electrolytes or salt-responsive surfactants.
- Stable over a wide pH range, making it ideal for diverse applications.
