COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE
a.k.a. Mersurf CA 35%
Cocamidopropyl Betaine is essential in our cleansers for achieving the ideal foam richness while keeping the overall formula gentle enough for daily use. Its zwitterionic nature means it behaves gently at normal skin pH.
MECHANISM
Amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. Zwitterionic at skin pH, making it extremely mild. Acts as foam booster and viscosity builder when combined with anionic surfactants. Significantly reduces irritation potential of primary cleansing surfactants.
BENEFITS
Mild amphoteric surfactant — gentle cleansing, foam booster
