Cocamidopropyl Betaine

INCI: Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Clear, light yellow liquid

Overview

SurfPro™ CAPB also known as Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a very mild, preservative free, surfactant used to increase mildness, create great flash foam, and stabilize foams and bubbles, adding to their longevity. It works to increase viscosity when used with other surfactants that can be thickened by salt, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium coco sulfate, and sodium laureth sulfate.

SurfPro™ CAPB is an amphoteric surfactant that is zwitteronic: It has a negative charge in alkaline products and a positive charge in acidic products like most personal cleansers. It is substantive when positively charged (in an acidic formulation), so it acts as a skin and hair conditioner, leaving behind a moisturized feeling after rinsing with no feeling of tightness.

SurfPro™ CAPB can be used as the sole surfactant for products for babies, children, and those with very dry or very sensitive skin, or in low surfactant, non-rinse facial products, such as micellar waters or make-up remover.

Cocamidopropyl betaine is an excellent all around mild amphoteric liquid soap base ,and additive  that offers the formulator outstanding foam, foam stabilization and viscosity building properties in liquid soap creations like shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, and more.

Formulate your own bubble baths, shampoos, liquid hand soaps, cleansing creams and lotions, shower gels, pet shampoos, and more! Provides good wetting, and gives good lather and foam.

Cocamidopropyl betaine has many and varied uses. It is mild, easy to use, and has many benefits for the formulator since it is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants. Using Cocamidopropyl Betaine along with other surfactants will help improve the foam performance, reduce the irritation of anionic surfactants, increasing cleansing capability of non-ionic surfactants and bridge the gap and allow for the use of a combination of cationics and non-ionics for excellent cleansing formulations.
