Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAS 86438-79-1)
QUICK LINKS
Cocamidopropyl betaine is a zwitterion, consisting of both a quaternary ammonium cation and a carboxylate. Cocamidopropyl betaine is used as a medium strength surfactant. Cocamidopropyl betaine, found in coconut oil, is an amphoteric surfactant widely utilized in an array of products spanning shampoos, body washes, cosmetics, and household cleaners. Functioning as a gentle surfactant, it effectively reduces surface tension and generates a foaming action when combined with water. Furthermore, it exhibits remarkable abilities in stabilizing and emulsifying other ingredients within various formulations. Beyond its practical applications, cocamidopropyl betaine plays a significant role in scientific research. It has been employed to investigate the impact of surfactants on the environment and has contributed to the development of novel surfactants.
