Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)

Description

Harness the gentle, foam-boosting power of Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB), the coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant behind tear-free washes and sulfate-free shampoos, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, liquid and syndet soap, and cosmetics. Carrying both a positive and a negative charge, CAPB is mild on skin and eyes and the ideal partner for other cleansers: it boosts and stabilizes creamy foam, thickens, and — most importantly — reduces the harshness of stronger surfactants when blended with them. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel has concluded CAPB is safe in rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics when manufacturing impurities are minimized, so ORY^® sources only low-impurity grades. In your custom facial cleanser, body wash, or micellar water, it gives every skin type a soft, creamy, non-stripping lather. In your sulfate-free shampoo, co-wash, or scalp cleanser, it cleanses gently, helps preserve natural oils, and helps prolong color. In your liquid soap, syndet bar, or shampoo bar, it enriches foam and mildness. In your cosmetics, it powers gentle makeup-removing cleansers. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for gentle, creamy cleansing. Caution: Rare contact allergy (from manufacturing impurities) — patch test if you have a history of cleanser or shampoo sensitivity. Avoid direct eye contact. Not for cold-process soap.
