FAQs of C.A.P.B. (Coco Amido Propyl Betaine):

Q: How is Coco Amido Propyl Betaine (CAPB) used in personal care products?

A: CAPB is incorporated as a surfactant, foam booster, and viscosity builder in personal care formulations such as shampoos, hand washes, body washes, and baby bath products. Its mildness and compatibility improve the texture and performance of these products.

Q: What is the recommended storage process for CAPB to maximize shelf life?

A: To preserve quality, keep CAPB in tightly closed containers, placed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage ensures a shelf life of up to two years.

Q: Where can CAPB be sourced or supplied in India?

A: CAPB is readily available from chemical distributors and suppliers specializing in cosmetic and detergent ingredients across India. Look for reputable suppliers who provide high-purity, cosmetic-grade CAPB for your formulation needs.

Q: What are the main benefits of using CAPB in formulations?

A: CAPB offers excellent foaming, improves viscosity, and provides gentle cleansing, making it ideal for both adult and baby care products. Its mild characteristic means it is less likely to irritate the skin compared to harsher surfactants.

Q: When should CAPB be added during a production process?

A: CAPB is typically added during the aqueous phase of formulating personal or household care products, after preparing the main surfactant base, to maximize its foaming and viscosity-enhancing effects.

Q: How does CAPB contribute to the biodegradability of finished products?

A: Being biodegradable, CAPB supports eco-friendly product claims. It breaks down in the environment, thus reducing ecological impact compared to non-biodegradable surfactants.
