THE STORY OF NANOSURF AMPHO CAB
Nanosurf Ampho CAPB: The Gentle Foaming Surfactant for Mild Cleansing Formulas
Nanosurf Ampho CAPB is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It’s a key ingredient in gentle cleansers, baby shampoos, face washes, and body washes due to its excellent foaming, cleansing, and skin-conditioning properties. CAPB reduces irritation when blended with primary surfactants, making it ideal for sensitive-skin and sulfate-free formulations.
Coconut-Derived Surfactant Made via Controlled Amidation & Quaternization
Nanosurf Ampho CAPB is produced by reacting dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) with coconut fatty acids, followed by quaternization with monochloroacetic acid. This process yields a biodegradable, amphoteric surfactant that functions as both a foam booster and viscosity enhancer. TRCkem provides high-purity, low-amide content cosmetic grades suitable for mild skin and hair formulations.
