Products Description
Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAS# 86438‑79‑1), generally shortened to CAPB within the cosmetic sector, is a well‑established and extensively applied amphoteric surfactant primarily derived from coconut‑oil‑based natural feedstocks. It exhibits excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic as well as non‑ionic surfactants. Moreover, it delivers good tolerance against hard‑water conditions and high‑concentration electrolytes.

Product Application
Known as a premium co‑surfactant, CAPB serves an essential function in personal care and household cleaning formulations. It acts as a key component in shampoos, particularly silicone‑free and sulfate‑free variants. It effectively mitigates irritation caused by primary surfactants like SLES, while delivering outstanding foaming capacity and foam stabilization. It also imparts anti‑static properties and smooth texture to hair.
In facial cleansers and body washes, CAPB works as a gentle foaming and thickening agent, leaving skin feeling fresh without tightness after rinsing. Thanks to its superior safety profile, it ranks among the top raw material choices for baby wash, baby shampoo and makeup removers.
Apart from cosmetic applications, it can also be utilised as an auxiliary agent for textile dyeing, mineral flotation reagent, and performance booster for fungicides.
