Product Application of Cocamidopropyl betaine CAS#86438-79-1
Cocamidopropyl betaine is an amphoteric surfactant, which enjoys increasing popularity among cosmetic chemists because of its low potential for irritation of the skin. It is used especially in shampoos and bath products such as bath and shower gels. Most cases of allergy are caused by shampoos . Thus, Cocamidopropyl betaine is the exception to the rule that allergic reactions arc usually caused by “stay-on” (“leave-on”) cosmetic products. However, Cocamidopropyl betaine may also be an allergen in other cosmetic products such as skin care products and deodorants and in contact lens fluids.
