About
Cocobetainamido Amphopropionate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This betaine-type amphoteric surfactant is derived from coconut fatty acids and provides excellent foaming with low irritation potential. It is widely used in rinse-off products such as shampoos and body washes, and is accepted in the EU cosmetics database without restriction. As an inner salt (zwitterion) at physiological pH, it is particularly compatible with the skin's natural acid mantle.
Skin benefits
- mild cleansing suitable for sensitive skin
- good compatibility with skin acid mantle
- enhances foam quality in rinse-off products
Known concerns
