CAPB

Introduction
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is widely used in cleansing formulations for its ability to boost foam, improve mildness, and enhance viscosity. CAPB is known for reducing the irritation potential of primary surfactants, making it ideal for gentle and daily-use products.
It offers an excellent balance between cleansing efficiency and skin comfort.
