Coco-Betaine

Product Description

As a leading industrial manufacturer, we supply high-purity Coco-Betaine, a naturally derived amphoteric surfactant sourced from sustainable coconut oil. This versatile ingredient functions as a high-performance secondary surfactant that forms a dense, stable foam while significantly reducing the irritation potential of anionic systems. Given the global market shift toward sulfate-free and "skin-friendly" personal care, our Coco-Betaine serves as a critical commercial benchmark for formulating professional-grade shampoos and body washes that demand exceptional mildness and clarity.

Key Benefits & Applications

Coco-Betaine is highly valued in B2B formulations for its exceptional foam stabilization and viscosity-building properties, especially in the presence of electrolytes. Its amphoteric nature allows it to act as an anti-static agent in hair care, improving fiber manageability and reducing flyaways. Beyond its role as a cleanser, it provides significant dermal compatibility, making it ideal for sensitive skin applications, baby care products, and high-clarity facial cleansers where it mitigates the harshness of Primary Alkyl Sulfates. It remains stable in both acidic and alkaline environments, offering formulators vast flexibility.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Usage: 2.0% - 15.0% depending on the final product application.
• Processing: Readily soluble in water; can be cold-processed or added during the cooling phase in hot processes.
• Stability: Stable in aqueous solution across a wide pH range; excellent hard water resistance.
• Synergy: Combine with Sodium Coco Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate to reinforce the scalp's lipid barrier while providing superior wet-combing performance in sulfate-free hair care.
