Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a surfactant commonly used in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It is derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine, making it a "cocamide" compound. CAPB is valued in cosmetics and household products for its ability to act as a mild cleanser that creates a rich lather without stripping the skin or hair of natural oils CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance: CAPB is typically a clear to pale yellow liquid with a slightly viscous texture. Solubility: It is soluble in water, which makes it easy to formulate into various aqueous-based products. pH: CAPB solutions generally have a pH of around 5–6, which is close to the natural pH of the skin, making it gentle and less likely to cause irritation.
