Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Cat No.:C000945) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is available as an approximately 30% aqueous solution. This mild and versatile surfactant is commonly used in personal care products, such as shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps, due to its excellent foaming and cleansing properties. It acts as a gentle and effective conditioner, providing a soft and smooth feel to the skin and hair. Additionally, its low irritation potential makes it suitable for sensitive skin. As with all surfactants, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed during usage and storage.
