Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine CAS 68139-30-0

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is a mild zwitterionic surfactant sourced from coconut fatty acids, a multi-functional amphoteric surfactant with anionic and cationic groups. This surfactant boasts wide pH stability (pH 3.0–10.0) and full compatibility with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactant blends.

As a gentle surfactant, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine drastically cuts irritation of harsh surfactant components, with minimal eye and skin stimulation ideal for sensitive formulations. It works as a foam-boosting surfactant to generate dense, long-lasting creamy lather, and serves as a thickening surfactant to raise formula viscosity when mixed with anionic surfactant without extra salt. This conditioning surfactant coats skin and hair to ease frizz and prevent post-wash tightness.

Thanks to its balanced performance as a premium compound surfactant, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is a staple auxiliary surfactant for personal care. It acts as a mild co-surfactant for facial cleansers, body washes and hand washes to soften harsh primary surfactant.

In hair care, this surfactant is added to shampoos to deliver cleansing plus anti-static softness. As a low-irritation surfactant, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is perfect for baby care and sensitive skin cleansers, and also fits mild household cleaning surfactant systems.
