Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Coco Betaine)

Description

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. Suitable for formulating shampoos, body wash, baby wash and other products. It has great foam properties with rich, thick lather, It is a surfactant that break the surface tension in water, loosen dirt, then rinse it away. It’s also useful for creating thicker, more luxurious-feeling formulas.

CAPB can be used as the main or primary surfactant for products for babies, dry and/or sensitive skin, it can also be used in products that do not require rinsing such as micellar waters or make-up remover wipes.

It makes products feel creamier. It’s a thickening agent that adds viscosity to products. This makes them feel richer and makes them less likely to drip while you use them.

CAPB is used in a wide range of personal care products, including shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, shaving cream, makeup removers, body wash, detergents, and cleaners. It is used for:
– Conditioning hair and reducing static.

2. Foam enhancer: In shampoos and body washes, CAPB can help create a rich lather when it comes into contact with water.

3. Thickening: CAPB adds viscosity to products, making them thicker and creamier. This is useful in products such as hair conditioners, as it makes them less likely to drip.
