DESCRIPTION: Cocomidopropyl Betaine is a naturally derived amphoteric surfactant. It is an excellent conditioning agent for shampoos, hair conditioners and toiletry products. Biodegradable (derived from coconut oil), high foamer and mildness additive for harsh surfactants. It can also increase the thickness of salt-thickening surfactants, create great flash foam and helps stabilize foams and bubbles. It is zwitteronic – possesses a negative charge in an alkaline environment and a positive charge in acidic environments. Leaves a conditioned after-feel without product residue.
