Question

Is `Cocamidopropyl Betaine` a "no tear" ingredient that does not irritate the eyes? If not, how can I create a "no tear" shampoo formula?

Answer

Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Eye Irritation

Regarding your question about whether Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a "no tear" ingredient and doesn't irritate the eyes, while Cocamidopropyl Betaine is considered a gentle surfactant and is mild on the skin and hair, it is not truly a "no tear" ingredient and can potentially cause eye irritation.

If you are aiming to create a "no tear" formulation, such as for baby products, it is recommended to use a dedicated "no tear" base. The Sulfate Free No-Tear Shampoo Base is specifically developed for this purpose and is designed to be non-irritating to the eyes.

To ensure a no-tear formula, it is best to use a base like the Sulfate Free No-Tear Shampoo Base and avoid adding other surfactants that could increase the potential for eye irritation.
