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 holds the natural benefits associated with coconut oil, such as its moisturizing properties.
