Usage

Description

Cocamidopropyl betaine is an important zwitterionic surfactant, with a mild detergent action that is also more viscous than the other types of surfactant.

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 86438-79-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. cocamidopropyl betaine is a surfactant derived from a coconut oil salt. It is particularly effective in shampoos, foam baths, shower foams, and other preparations where high, creamy foam and good skin tolerance are desired.
2. Cocamidopropyl betaine is an amphoteric surfactant, which enjoys increasing popularity among cosmetic chemists because of its low potential for irritation of the skin. It is used especially in shampoos and bath products such as bath and shower gels. Most cases of allergy are caused by shampoos . Thus, Cocamidopropyl betaine is the exception to the rule that allergic reactions arc usually caused by “stay-on” (“leave-on”) cosmetic products. However, Cocamidopropyl betaine may also be an allergen in other cosmetic products such as skin care products and deodorants and in contact lens fluids.
3. Cocamidopropyl betaine is one of themost common surface-acting agents used incosmetics, including the following: 1. Cosmetics (shampoos, cleansing lotions and gels, detergents, and hair dyes and styling products) 2. Contact lens solutions 3. Antiseptics

Definition

Cocamidopropyl betaine, an amphoteric surfactant, is one of the most commonly used surfactants in cosmetics. It is synthesized from three substances: a coca fatty acid, dimethylaminopropylamine, and rnonochloroacetic acid. It is patch tested as a 1% concentration in water.
