Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine: Cosmetic Ingredient INCI

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as a surfactant and a foam booster - it is not a sulfate. In its raw form, it appears as a clear, pale yellow liquid with a viscous consistency. While Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is derived from coconut oil, it undergoes a chemical process to become an ingredient, making it synthetic. However, it is considered mild and gentle on the skin and is frequently used in natural and organic formulations. Primarily, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine helps create rich lathers and enhances cleansing properties of the products. The chemical formula of Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is C₂₀H₄₂N₂O₅S.
