Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) or cocamidopropyl betaine chemical is made from coconut oil reacted
with chemicals and is a zwitterionic surfactant with a quaternary ammonium cation in its
molecule. Cocamidopropyl betaine is a
viscous pale yellow transparent liquid and is used as a surfactant in bath products like shampoos
and hand soaps, and in cosmetics as an emulsifying agent and thickener, and to reduce irritation
purely ionic surfactants would cause. Cocamidopropyl betaine also serves as an antistatic agent
in hair conditioners.
