INCI: Cocamidopropyl Betaine

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.

Coca Betaine

This product acted as the perfect surflactant for my bath bombs and allowed the oils and water based products to mix well together. A good emulsifying agent of water and oils. My bath bombs even foaming a bit and water was a milky colour which I really enjoyed😊

Essentially Natural Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Sulfate Free)

Gentle and effective, best describe this lovely surfactant. I used it in a face wash recipe with Salicylic Acid. It is so gentle I never experienced any burning, drying or tightness. After using this product in my face wash my skin feels clean and fresh and so supple. It is the only surfactant I used and it does the job. Love it!
