Sodium Cocaminopropionate

Sodium Cocaminopropionate (CAS 68608-68-4) is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and beta-alanine.

Where is Sodium Cocaminopropionate used?

• Personal care: primary or co-surfactant in shampoos and body washes
• Facial cleansers: mildness to skin and hair
• Conditioning shampoos: compatibility with anionic and cationic systems
• Leave-on treatments: charge balance
• Home care and industrial cleaning: hard surface cleaners and degreasers
• Industrial applications: stable foam and soil removal at varying pH levels
• Liquid detergent concentrates: foam booster and viscosity modifier
• It functions as a cleansing, foaming, and conditioning agent across a broad pH range.

Good to know: Tolerates high electrolyte concentrations that often challenge conventional surfactants. Cosmetic-grade material meets the purity and safety standards required for leave-on applications.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution with active matter concentrations of 30–40%
• Packaging: drums and IBCs for bulk procurement
