What is Cocamidopropyl Betaine？

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mild, amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids. Renowned for its excellent foaming properties, viscosity-building capabilities, and skin mildness, it is one of the most widely used surfactants in personal care and cleaning products. As a zwitterionic compound, it carries both positive and negative charges, making it compatible with all surfactant types and effective across a broad pH range. Its ability to reduce the irritation potential of anionic surfactants while enhancing foam stability makes it an indispensable component in modern formulations.
