Capb Cocamidopropyl Betaine

CAPB stands for Cocamidopropyl Betaine, a versatile, mild, amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil and used in many personal care and household cleaning products for its cleansing and foaming properties. As a surfactant, it helps to remove dirt and oil by reducing the surface tension of water, allowing it to bond with impurities. CAPB creates a thick, creamy lather and is popular in products like shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, especially for sensitive skin, due to its gentle nature and moisturizing benefits.
