Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) | Cosmetic Grade

CAPB Liquid Cocamidopropyl Betaine | Cosmetic Grade

1. Dilution and Preparation

• CAPB is typically supplied as a liquid solution and can be used directly.
• It is often added to the water phase of formulations. If you're working with a cold-process formulation, it can be mixed at room temperature.

2. Typical Usage Levels

• Personal Care Products: 5–15% depending on the product type (e.g., higher concentrations for shampoos or body washes, lower for facial cleansers).
• Household Cleaners: 1–10% depending on the desired foaming and cleaning properties.

3. Combining with Other Ingredients

• CAPB works well with other surfactants like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) to create a synergistic effect, enhancing foam and reducing potential irritation.
• To stabilize the pH, adjust the formulation to a range of 4.5–6.5, as CAPB performs best in this range.

4. Steps for Incorporation

1. Measure Accurately: Weigh the required amount of CAPB based on your formulation percentage.
2. Add Gradually: Slowly incorporate CAPB into the water phase while stirring to avoid excessive foaming.
3. Mix Thoroughly: Blend until fully homogenized. If adding other surfactants, mix them first before introducing CAPB.
4. pH Adjustment: Test and adjust the pH of your formulation as needed.
5. Final Additions: Add other components like thickeners, preservatives, or fragrances as per your formulation.

5. Safety Precautions

• Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles when handling raw materials.
• Store CAPB in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability.
• Follow regulatory guidelines for the maximum allowable concentration in your region.

By following these steps, CAPB can be seamlessly integrated into your products to deliver gentle yet effective cleansing, enhanced foam, and conditioning properties.
