Usage

General Description

Betaines, bis(hydroxyethyl)tallow alkyl, are a type of amphoteric surfactants that are extensively used in cosmetic and personal care products. As an important class of chemical compounds, betaines contain a positively charged ion on nitrogen and have utility in a wide variety of personal care applications due to their excellent foam boosting and foam stabilizing properties, as well as their compatibility with anionic, cationic, and nonionic systems. They are obtained from the reaction of tallow fatty acids (derived from the fat of animals such as cattle, sheep, or horses) with secondary amines followed by the reaction with sodium chloroacetate. These chemicals are typically used as conditioning agents, and as hair and skin cleansers in personal care formulations. Moreover, these compounds are considered to be low in toxicity, making them suitable for use in a variety of cosmetic and skincare products. Notwithstanding, to avoid any potential risk, it is always advised to use these substances under the guidelines provided by regulatory authorities.
