Green Cocoamphoacetate B
Amphoteric Surfactant
INCI: Sodium Babassuamphoacetate · CAS 515861-22-0 · Code PA3155 · Active Matter 35–40% · Water Soluble
Green Cocoamphoacetate B is a 100% natural, 100% palm oil free amphoteric surfactant derived from non-refined babassu oil. An innovative extraction process preserves the purity and original nutrients of the fruit — keeping the entire fatty acid chain of babassu oil in the surfactant, including lauric, myristic, and oleic fatty acids. This makes it naturally more viscous with a pleasing sensory and emollient finishing touch.
Rich in medium and long chain triglycerides, it delivers softness, stable creamy foam, low irritability, and enhances the foaming and detergency power of formulations. Its mild co-surfactant action aids conditioning in acidic environments, reducing the required quaternary ammonium content — meaning fewer irritating ingredients in the formulation. COSMOS approved. Full supply chain traceability.
