Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a mild surfactant derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine, making it a popular choice for both natural and conventional personal care products. Though synthetically processed, it originates from coconut fatty acids and is commonly found in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, bubble baths, and liquid soaps.

Key Benefits of Cocamidopropyl Betaine:

• Cleansing Agent: CAPB works effectively as a cleansing agent by breaking down oils and dirt, creating a gentle lather without stripping the skin or hair of its natural moisture.

• Foam Booster: It enhances the foaming properties of liquid cleansing products, making them feel richer and more luxurious.

• Mild on Skin: Known for its non-irritating nature, Cocamidopropyl Betaine is suitable for sensitive skin and often included in baby care formulations.

• Thickening and Conditioning: Helps to thicken formulations while providing a smooth and conditioned feel on the skin and hair.

How to Use Cocamidopropyl Betaine:

• Add CAPB to the water phase of your formulation.

• Recommended usage rate: 5–40%, depending on desired cleansing and foaming levels.

• Commonly used in combination with other surfactants for a balanced, mild product.
