Cocamidopropyl Betaine CAPB 30 - Uses, Benefits & Applications

Cocamidopropyl Betaine, commonly abbreviated as CAPB, is an amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant widely used in personal care and cleaning formulations. CAPB 30 generally refers to a commercial grade containing approximately 30% active surfactant, subject to the manufacturer's specification. The Mars Oleochemicals product information identifies palm kernel oil and coconut oil as feedstock origins.

CAPB 30 is particularly useful in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand washes and bath products. It is commonly blended with anionic surfactants to modify the cleansing system, enhance foam characteristics and contribute to a smoother formulation profile. Its compatibility with different surfactant systems makes it useful across numerous rinse-off personal care products.

One important function of Cocamidopropyl Betaine is its ability to support foam generation, foam stability and viscosity development in compatible surfactant formulations. When used with ingredients such as SLES and other surfactants, CAPB can help formulators achieve the desired lather, consistency and product texture.
