Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a widely used amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. It is known for its mildness on the skin and ability to form foam, making it a popular ingredient in personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. CAPB is effective in formulations where it enhances foam and provides a smooth lather, contributing to the cleansing and conditioning effects of these products. It is also valued for its ability to stabilize other surfactants, improving the overall performance of personal care formulations. As a mild surfactant, CAPB is suitable for sensitive skin types and is often used in baby care products due to its gentle nature.
