Cocamidopropyl Betaine - Sulfate Free - 25L

Features

Description

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a gentle amphoteric surfactant used to boost foam and improve mildness in liquid cleansers. It can be used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, face washes, shower products, bubble baths, and other water-based cleansing systems. This ingredient is supplied as a liquid, which makes it easy to weigh and blend into formulations.

It is a raw surfactant rather than a finished cleanser. Why we love it: We choose to stock Cocamidopropyl Betaine because it is one of the most practical foam-boosting surfactants for gentler cleansing systems. It helps make rinse-off products feel softer and more user-friendly without needing a very complex surfactant system.
