Coco Betaine

Coco Betaine is an amphoteric surfactant (betaine) derived from fatty acids of coconut oil. It is produced by synthesis from coconut-based fatty raw materials – first an amidoamine is prepared from coconut fatty acid, then a betaine reaction takes place, which creates a stable amphoteric structure. In practice, it serves as a secondary surfactant : it softens the cleansing profile, increases the creaminess and stability of the foam and improves the tolerability of formulations with anionic surfactants. Compared to Cocamidopropyl Betaine, it is a related betaine raw material that is used in a very similar way – often in shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansing gels and products for more sensitive skin. Most commonly it is supplied as an aqueous solution , therefore the dosage is adjusted according to the target level of active surfactants in the finished product. Key benefits Milder cleansing – reduces the “degreasing” feel and improves skin comfort. Creamy and stable foam – improves foam volume as well as its density. Synergy in surfactant blends – works very well with anionic and nonionic surfactants. Improves processing – often helps with the viscosity and stability of surfactant bases. Universal use – suitable for a wide range of cleansing products. Suitable for products such as Shampoos and mild hair cleansing gels. Shower gels and bath foams. Facial cleansing gels and foams (rinse-off) – milder surfactant profile. Liquid soaps and hand washing gels. Intimate hygiene (rinse-off) – in mild surfactant systems and at appropriate pH.
