Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)
Description
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. Known for its excellent foam boosting, cleansing, and viscosity-enhancing properties, it is a key ingredient in personal care, cosmetic, and household formulations.
As a zwitterionic surfactant, CAPB contains both positive and negative charges, allowing it to perform effectively over a wide pH range. It acts as a foam booster, emulsifier, thickener, and antistatic agent, making it highly suitable for shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, baby care products, and other mild cleansing formulations.
