Elevate your cleansing formulations with our Premium Cocamidopropyl Betaine Liquid, a versatile, coconut-derived surfactant that delivers a rich, creamy lather without stripping the skin. As an amphoteric surfactant, this mild ingredient is an essential, "no-tears" compliant co-surfactant forcreating luxurious, gentle, and effective cleansing products.
This 30-35% active aqueous solution acts as a viscosity enhancer (thickener) and foam stabilizer, making it perfect for replacing harsher foaming agents like SLS.
Key Benefits:
Gentle Cleanser & Foam Booster: Creates a rich, thick, and luxurious lather while gently lifting away dirt, oil, and impurities.
Improves Product Texture: Acts as a thickener, increasing the viscosity of shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers to make them feel creamier.
Skin & Hair Friendly: Derived from coconut oil, it is much less drying than traditional surfactants, leaving skin and hair feeling soft and smooth.
Highly Compatible: Compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, making it ideal for sulfate-free, pH-balanced formulas.
Easy to Use: Water-soluble, clear to pale yellow liquid with a mild, characteristic odor.
Common Applications:
Shampoos & Conditioners
Facial Cleansers & Gentle Body Washes
Bubble Baths & Bath Bombs
Liquid Hand Soaps & "No-Tears" Baby Products
Makeup Removers

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
