Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)

Description

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mixture of closely related organic compounds derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine that typically acts as an amphoteric surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products. It is a zwitterionic ammonium compound and fatty acid amide that contains a long chain of hydrocarbons and a polar group at each end. Cocamidopropyl betaine is used as a foam booster in shampoos, an emulsifying agent, thickener, antistatic agent and rarely an antiseptic agent
