Information

Cocamidopropyl betaine is a mild, natural surfactant and cleansing agent widely used in skincare products. It is known for its ability to create a rich, stable foam while being gentle on the skin, making it a popular choice in various cleansing products.

Where does it come from?

Cocamidopropyl betaine is derived from coconut oil, specifically from the fatty acids of the oil. The production process involves the reaction of these fatty acids with dimethylaminopropylamine, which results in the formation of cocamidopropyl betaine. Although it undergoes processing, it retains some of the natural benefits associated with coconut oil, such as its moisturizing properties.
