How is cocamidopropyl betaïne made?
Cocamidopropyl Betaine, or Betaine AAB 38, is created through a chemical process that combines fatty acids from vegetable oil with dimethylaminopropylamine. This combination creates a dual-valent property, meaning it can act as both an acid and a base. This makes it an extremely stable and versatile ingredient that can function effectively in a wide range of pH environments. The process is designed to create a high-quality, sustainable, and environmentally friendly substance that delivers the desired properties for skin care products.
The function of Betaïne AAB 38
Betaine AAB 38 is known for its excellent foaming power and mild cleansing properties. It works as a surfactant that helps to remove dirt and oil from the skin and hair without drying them out. Due to its dual properties, it can also act as a buffer, stabilizing the pH value of products. This minimizes skin irritation. In addition, Betaine AAB 38 helps to improve the viscosity of products, resulting in a pleasant texture and feel on the skin. In combination with other surfactants, it also increases foaming power, making it very suitable for cleansing products.
