Surfactant

Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine is a cationic surfactant derived from coconut oil, chemically classified as a fatty acid amidoamine. It functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, antistatic agent, and hair conditioning agent, with a positively charged head group that gives it good foaming properties and affinity for negatively charged surfaces like skin and hair. It is commonly used in cleansing formulations and is also used as a solubiliser to improve the water solubility and stability of actives such as salicylic acid in non-cleansing products.
