Due to its unique properties, Coco-Betaine is a popular ingredient in many products.
Coco-Betaine is often used in shampoos, shower gels, bubble baths, body and skin cleansers, as well as in product lines for children and sensitive skin, due to the fact that it is considered a mild and non-toxic tenside. In addition, it is also often found in laundry detergents and other household cleaning products. Its function is to assist in the removal of dirt, grease and grime by reducing the surface tension of water, allowing it to foam for effective cleaning.
