About

A gentle amphoteric surfactant derived from oleic acid, commonly used in cleansers and shampoos for its mildness and foaming properties.

Oleamidopropyl Betaine is an amphoteric surfactant derived from oleic acid, used in rinse-off formulations as a foaming agent and viscosity controller. The EU CosIng database does not restrict it. While betaines are generally milder than anionic surfactants, they can occasionally cause sensitization reported in the literature, meriting a slightly conservative score.

Skin benefits

  • Gentle cleansing and foaming
  • Improves skin feel in rinse-off products
