Cocamidopropyl betaine is a synthetic surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is a mild amphoteric surfactant commonly used in personal care products, such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps. Cocamidopropyl betaine acts as a foaming and cleansing agent, contributing to the lathering and cleaning properties of these products.

One of the notable characteristics of cocamidopropyl betaine is its ability to create a stable foam while maintaining a mild and gentle nature. It helps to enhance the texture and foam quality of products, providing a luxurious and satisfying sensory experience during use.

Cocamidopropyl betaine serves as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant, working alongside other surfactants to improve their overall performance. It helps to increase the effectiveness of cleansing by aiding in the removal of dirt, oils, and impurities from the skin and hair.

Cocamidopropyl betaine is known for its mildness and compatibility with sensitive skin. It has a low irritation potential and is often included in formulations designed for individuals with sensitive or easily irritated skin. It helps to minimise the risk of skin dryness or discomfort while maintaining effective cleansing.

Cocamidopropyl betaine has many and varied uses. It is mild, easy to use, and has many benefits for the formulator since it is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants. Using Cocamidopropyl Betaine along with other surfactants will help improve the foam performance, reduce the irritation of anionic surfactants, increasing cleansing capability of non-ionic surfactants and bridge the gap and allow for the use of a combination of cationics and non-ionics for excellent cleansing formulations.

Benefits - 

  • Improves viscosity of cleansing systems
  • Improves cationic and non-ionic performance
  • May be used to allow the combination of various polarities

Mild, biodegradable and viscosity-building and foam boosting surfactant, and offers outstanding foam, foam stabilization and viscosity building properties. Derived from renewable, natural resources. Cocamidopropyl betaine is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants.

Cocobetaine and Cocoamidopropyl Betaine are not the same compound. 

Coco-Betaine is more natural but it is also more irritating.
