Amphoteric surfactants act as core raw materials for mild daily chemical formulas. Many betaine-based amphoteric surfactants exist in the market, and Cocamidopropyl Betaine ,shortened as CAPB,takes the leading position. This material balances steady foaming performance and skin-friendly mildness, so formulators rely heavily on it for gentle cleansing items.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine Core Product Properties
Basic Chemical Information:
CAS No.: 61789-40-0
Chemical Name: Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Manufacturers produce CAPB with natural coconut oil and amine derivatives, so the material carries eco-friendly sourcing advantages.
Appearance & Key Characteristics:
The product appears as pale yellow transparent liquid. Producers control its solid content between 30% and 35%, and adjust pH to 4.5–5.5 for balanced mildness. On one hand, CAPB dissolves fully in clean water without sediment. On the other hand, CAPB mixes well with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and never causes layer separation. Beyond good compatibility, CAPB creates thick, long-lasting foam once mixed with water. CAPB also adds obvious thickening power to formulas and leaves smooth texture on hair and skin after washing. Moreover, CAPB brings ultra-low irritation and complete biodegradability to meet green cosmetic standards.
Main Application Scenarios
Daily Personal Care Cleansers:
Cosmetic developers add CAPB to daily cleansing goods like shampoo, body wash and liquid hand soap. CAPB raises foam volume and keeps foam stable during washing. Meanwhile, CAPB eases strong irritation from single anionic surfactants and upgrades overall use experience. Users gain soft hair and non-dry smooth skin after rinsing products with CAPB.
Baby & Sensitive Skin Products:
Cosmetic teams use CAPB for baby wash and sensitive facial cleansers. CAPB’s gentle molecular structure creates no extra burden on delicate infant skin and fragile facial barriers.
Other Daily Chemical Scenarios:
Many brands add CAPB to shaving cream, pet shampoo and household mild cleaners. CAPB delivers soft cleaning and soothing effects for all these end products.
