Product Description

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. It is widely used as a co-surfactant, foam booster and viscosity builder in personal care, hair care and household cleaning formulations.

CAPB is compatible with anionic (e.g. LABSA, SLES), cationic and non-ionic surfactants, and helps reduce the irritation potential of anionic surfactant systems. Its mildness makes it the preferred choice for baby products, sensitive skin formulations and premium personal care products. Supplied as a 30% active aqueous solution.

  • Body wash, shower gel and liquid soap
  • Baby shampoo and mild skin care products
