Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) in Personal-Care Formulations

A mild, amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil, valued for its ability to boost foam, lower irritation, and improve viscosity when blended with anionic or non-ionic surfactants. Typical pH range of finished products: 5.0 – 7.0.


Compare between liquid and powder type

Aspect Liquid CAPB (most common) Powder/Granular CAPB
Actives content 28 – 38 % (water + ~4 % NaCl) 70 – 95 % actives (little to no water)
Viscosity (25 °C) 1 000 – 5 000 cP → easy pumping Flowable granule or fine powder; dusting risk
Preservation Usually contains MIT or benzyl alcohol; needs preserved storage tank Essentially self-preserving (low water activity)
Cold stability Can cloud or gel < 10 °C; may need drum warming Remains free-flowing; hygroscopic so needs sealed bags/desiccant
Shipping & carbon footprint Higher weight/volume → larger logistics cost 2–3 × more actives per kg → lower freight, smaller footprint
Handling safety Low irritation; no inhalation hazard Dust can irritate eyes/airways → local exhaust & PPE required
Typical use level (finished formula) 3–12 % as-supplied (gives 1–4 % actives) 1–4 % as-supplied (gives same actives)
Dissolution Instantly disperses, even in cold water Needs slow addition to vortex at ≥40 °C or pre-wetting with glycerin/propylene glycol
Ideal product formats Shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, baby wash, micellar waters Solid shampoo bars, syndet bars, cleansing powders, water-free pastes, tablet cleansers, concentrated liquid bases to be diluted by consumer
Cost structure Lower price per kg, but pay for water; higher warehousing Higher €/kg, but lower cost per active & lower transport/storage fees
Formulation impact Naturally contributes chloride for salt-curve thickening; can thin if over-used No salt—gives formulator full control over viscosity build; demands separate electrolyte source if needed

Choosing the Right Form

When Liquid CAPB Makes Life Easier ?

  • Standard liquid cleansers: One-step dilution into the surfactant phase; effortless cold-process manufacturing.

  • pH-sensitive actives: The built-in buffer of the aqueous solution minimizes local pH spikes during addition.

  • High-turnover factories: Pumpable drums or IBCs integrate with existing CIP systems; no dust containment required.

  • Low CAPEX operations: No need for powder handling equipment or heated vessels (beyond standard surfactant tanks).


When Powder CAPB Shines ?

  • Water-free or low-water concepts: Shampoo bars, syndet bars, and cleansing tablets where every gram counts.

  • Sustainability claims: Reduced transport emissions and plastic—easy to market as a “concentrated” or “solid” format.

  • Leave-on wipes & powders: Minimal added water lowers microbial risk and enables preservative-free claims.

  • Formulation flexibility: Because there’s no added salt, you can design bespoke rheology systems (acrylates, cellulose gums) without the risk of salt-thickening interference.



Practical Formulation Tips


Scenario Key Tips
Liquid CAPB in classic shampoo 1. Charge water to tank, start mixing.2. Add anionic surfactant (e.g., SLES).3. Add CAPB slowly; watch viscosity “salt-curve”.4. Adjust pH 5.5 with citric acid; finish with fragrance & preservative.
Powder CAPB in shampoo bar 1. Melt fatty alcohols/butters 70 - 75 °C.2. Premix powdered CAPB with SCI or SLSa to reduce dust.3. Add surfactant blend to molten base; mix until homogeneous.4. Cool to < 45 °C, press or pour into molds.
Clear facial wash concentrate (powder-in-liquid dilution) 1. Prepare 40 % glycerin + 5 % propanediol solution at 50 °C.2. Disperse powder CAPB until clear; no salt yet.3. Top up with demin water, adjust pH 5.5.4. Add NaCl incrementally to reach target viscosity.



Decision Checklist

  1. End-format – Liquid wash ➜ liquid CAPB; solid or concentrated ➜ powder CAPB.

  2. Factory setup – Pumps & IBCs ➜ liquid; dust-handling & blending ➜ powder.

  3. Sustainability story – Powder scores better on transport & water-free claims.

  4. Cost per active – Powder wins on freight/storage; liquid wins on raw-kg price.

  5. Rheology control – Need salt-free base? powder. Want built-in salt for quick thickening? liquid.


Usage: For skin or hair cleansing products

Mixing method: mixed in water, can withstand heat. Provides the most foam when in a formula with pH 7.0.

Usage rate: 1-20%

Product characteristics: solid powder

Solubility: Can dissolve in water

Storage: Can be stored at room temperature. But close the bottle cap tightly. Then completely protected from sunlight or heat. The product has a minimum shelf life of 2 years.
