About

A gentle plant-derived surfactant from pine fatty acids — analogous to cocamidopropyl betaine but using pine instead of coconut. Cleanses mildly and helps soften other surfactants without harshness.

  • Plant-derived (pine fatty acids)
  • Reduces irritation of primary surfactants
  • Good foam booster

Known concerns

  • Possible amidoamine impurities can cause sensitization
  • Less safety literature than cocamidopropyl betaine
