As the demand for gentle, effective, and clean-label personal care products continues to rise, formulators are turning to proven ingredients that strike the perfect balance between performance and safety. One such multi-functional ingredient is Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)—a coconut-derived surfactant used in everything from baby washes to premium shampoos.

 

What Is CAPB?

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It’s known for its ability to work harmoniously with other surfactants to enhance foam, improve texture, and reduce irritation. CAPB is widely used in skin-friendly and sulphate-free personal care formulations.
