Cocamidopropylbetaine (Соcamidopropyl Betaine)

Cocamidopropylbetaine - mild amphoteric surfactant, surface-active a substance that is produced from the fatty acids of coconut oil and substances in the beet - is a derivative of cocamide (fatty amide acids of coconut oil) and glycine betaine. It is a viscous, almost transparent yellowish liquid that is used as Surfactants in such bath products like shampoos and hand soap, and in cosmetics as an emulsifier and thickener, as well as to reduce irritation that can cause a purely ionic surface-active substances. It is also used as an antistatic agent in hair conditioners and other personal care products.

Cocamidopropyl betaine is a surface-active substance medium strength, and in most cases does not cause irritation of the skin and the mucous membranes. Compatible with other cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants. Largely, it can be replaced by cocamide DEA.

Properties:
Cocamidopropylbetaine used for mixtures of surfactants, in particularly for personal care products and cosmetics. It typical properties are:
* excellent foaming and foam stability even in hard water;
* very good tolerance of the skin and mucous membranes, good affects the dermatological properties of the final composition;
* effective hair care and skin;
* compatible with other types of surfactants;
* the ability to control dynamic viscosity of surfactant mixtures, including the composition, which is based on alveolarization;
* soft auxiliary surfactants, non-irritating skin - one of the most secure;
* reduces the stimulatory action of other surfactants;
* in combination with anionic surfactants becomes a thickener, improves foaming ability and increases the safety of formulations;
* has a good cleansing and penetriruyuschimi properties;
* has the properties of air conditioning and antistatic agent;
* prevents the formation of the statistics of the electric charge of the hair;
* conditioning agent that facilitates combing of wet hair;
* foam stabilizer;
* can be used as the primary surfactant.
