Description
Coco-betaine Surfactant – reduces the aggressive potential of other surfactants, rich and delicate foam.
Coco-betaine Surfactant offers excellent cleansing and gentle conditioning properties, superior foaming even in the presence of hard water, and enhances the overall mildness of surfactant-based formulations.
It is a highly concentrated cocamidopropyl betaine in near-anhydrous powder form, a high-purity amphoteric surfactant used both as the sole surfactant in a formula and in combination with other surfactants to reduce their irritation potential.
Ingredients (INCI): Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: White powder, faint characteristic odor
- Solubility: Soluble in warm water.
- Quality: High purity, no added preservatives, sulfate-free, low bitterness profile
- Recommended dosage: 1-15%
Properties and Benefits
- Excellent foaming capacity, with superior detergency even in hard water conditions.
- High purity, offering gentle cleansing for skin and hair.
- Reduces the irritation potential of sulfates and other surfactants in the formula.
- Improves the overall mildness of surfactant-based formulations.
- Completely biodegradable.
- Also suitable for oral care formulations (toothpastes) due to its pleasant taste and reduced bitterness.
Applications
- Bath and shower products, face and body cleansing.
- Hair cleansing, liquid and solid shampoos.
- Hand cleansing, makeup removal, wet wipes.
- Baby hygiene products.
- Oral care formulations (toothpastes, mouthwashes).
- As an additive in solid soap bars (syndet or combo bars), enhancing their performance properties.
Formulation Guide
- Dissolves most effectively in warm water under sustained stirring - being a concentrated powder, it may require some patience until fully dissolved.
- Being a highly hygroscopic ingredient, it absorbs atmospheric moisture if left exposed, forming clumps that hinder subsequent dissolution – keeping the container tightly closed between uses and processing quickly after opening is recommended.
- Can be used as the sole surfactant in certain formulas, but is typically combined with other surfactants.
- Stable across a wide pH range: 3-8
Usage Safety and Storage
- Profile: Ingredient with good skin and oral tolerance at recommended doses.
- Precautions: External cosmetic use. Highly hygroscopic ingredient - keep packaging tightly closed and process promptly after opening to prevent moisture absorption. Powdery product, irritating to the respiratory tract and eyes; must be handled wearing gloves and a dust mask.
- Storage: In a closed container, in a dry and cool place, protected from sunlight, at temperatures below 25°C.

I use it in cleanser ,shower gel and shampoo . very good granulation dissolves easily in lukewarm water.
Coco-betain surfactant is the most widely used surfactant with excellent foaming and cleansing properties.It is used in cosmetic formulations for hair,skin.
it helps in shampoo for a rich, creamy lather. it's gentle on the scalp. I also use it in baby shampoos.
An excellent tenside, even if it is harder to work with, that can be used in multiple formulations.
I like it a lot, especially for cleansing mousse after makeup as well as baby products.
A very versatile product. I've been using it in my shampoo and cleanser for a long time. I haven't tried it in soaps yet, but will give it a try
I'm thankful that we have natural alternatives to commercial products. For my little boy with atopic dermatitis I made the bath foam and it worked great. Thank you, Elemental!
I really like this tenside, used in a cleanser with a simple formula in a special foaming container. The only drawback is that it dissolves rather slowly, a liquid version of this product would be ideal.
After all the formulas tested and with other tensides, my practical conclusion is that this is the only tenside that is gentle enough and tolerable by very sensitive, reactive, atopic skin (in combination with Hydralay and Softdermo Eco; but of course, without abusing and using it daily).
Weekly I use an exfoliating cream. I discovered this tenside with excellent cleansing properties, adapting the exfoliating cream recipe with hibiscus. I used in the recipe: shea butter, sofranel oil, Coco-betain surfactant, Hibiscus flower powder and antioxidant extract of Rosemary CO2. I got a perfect exfoliating cream that cleanses, moisturizes and catifies and, thanks to the Coco-betain surfactant, leaves no greasy film on the skin.
I tried it to lather a shampoo and it did its job well. The same for a toothpaste.
A delicate surfactant with the skin indicated in cosmetic formulations for facial hygiene, in cleansers due to its foaming and cleansing properties.
Of all the tensides on the site, this is my favorite. At first I found it very hard to dissolve, but with a little patience I managed to discover its little secret. I use it in all our hygiene products.
It needs to stay away from the air because it subsequently absorbs moisture and makes clumps and does not facilitate solubilization.
Gentle on the skin, I have used it in intimate lotion, in cleanser. It is a mild tenside that gives foam and cleans, in the future I would like to introduce it in a toothpaste
I use it when making cleanser. It gives it good foaming properties and is gentle on the skin. I am also happy with its foaming/cleansing properties in effervescent balls and bath butters.
I tried to make solid shampoo without using these surfactants but, although I used good quality oils my hair gets fat very quickly, with these my hair cleans better and stays clean longer!
A tenside that foams very nicely, just keep it away from moisture. I use it for products I include in foamer containers. Very satisfied!
