Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It functions as a co-surfactant, foam booster, viscosity building agent, and mild cleansing agent in a wide range of personal care, household cleaning, and specialized hygiene formulations.
