Heloxyl AP 30
Heloxyl AP 30 is an amphoteric surfactant with the INCI name Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate. The product is used as a mild cleansing surfactant, foam booster, and viscosity enhancer in both cosmetic and technical cleaning formulations.
Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate is based on coconut fatty acids and is known for its mild character and good compatibility with other surfactants. As a result, Heloxyl AP 30 is widely used in formulations where cleaning performance must be combined with skin friendliness and foam stability.
The product is used in:
- Hand soaps
- Mild cleansing products
- Industrial cleaning systems
- Technical foam cleaners
Due to its amphoteric properties, Heloxyl AP 30 performs well in combination with anionic, non-ionic, and other amphoteric surfactants.

How is Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate produced?
Heloxyl AP 30 is produced by reacting fatty amine derivatives originating from coconut oil with functional acids, followed by neutralization to the disodium salt.
The production process generally includes:
- Selection of coconut-based fatty raw materials
- Chemical conversion into imino-dipropionate structures
- Neutralization to the disodium salt
- Purification and standardization
This chemical structure results in a surfactant with:
- Mild cleansing properties
- Good foam formation
- Compatibility with other surfactants
- Stability over a broad pH range
Heloxyl AP 30 is widely used in formulations where foam quality, mildness, and stability are important.
How does Heloxyl AP 30 work in a formulation?
Heloxyl AP 30 functions as a mild cleansing surfactant, foam booster, and supporting surfactant.
Mild cleansing
Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate helps remove dirt and oils without extremely aggressive degreasing.
The effect:
- Milder cleansing
- Reduction of skin irritation
- Good compatibility with skin and hair
For example: in a hand soap, Heloxyl AP 30 helps provide effective cleansing.
Foam formation and foam stability
Heloxyl AP 30 supports the formation of rich and stable foam.
The effect:
- Creamier foam
- Longer-lasting foam stability
- Improved user experience
For example: in a hand soap, Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate helps maintain stable foam during use.
Compatibility with other surfactants
Due to its amphoteric structure, Heloxyl AP 30 works well with:
- Anionic surfactants
- Non-ionic surfactants
- Other amphoteric systems
As a result, the product can help with:
- Stabilization of formulations
- Improvement of mildness
- Optimization of foam properties
Application in technical cleaning
In addition to cosmetic applications, Heloxyl AP 30 can also be used in technical cleaning formulations where controlled foam formation and milder cleaning are desired.
For example: in a technical foam cleaner, Heloxyl AP 30 supports stable foam formation and surface wetting.
