Long Description

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is one of the most widely used secondary surfactants in the cosmetic and personal care industry. Derived from coconut oil, CAPB is known for its excellent foaming, cleansing, thickening, and conditioning properties.

CAPB is commonly added to shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, liquid soaps, and hand washes to improve foam quality and provide a gentle cleansing experience. It helps reduce the harshness of primary surfactants such as SLS and SLES, making formulations milder and more skin-friendly.

Due to its compatibility with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, Cocamidopropyl Betaine is highly versatile and easy to formulate. It contributes to better viscosity, richer lather, and enhanced product stability, making it an essential ingredient in modern personal care products.

Its mild nature makes it suitable for products designed for sensitive skin and baby care applications, while its excellent foaming performance makes it a preferred ingredient for premium cleansing formulations.
