Everything You Need To Know
Beta T is a yellowish liquid with a faint trace of an odour that does not show through in the final product. Derived from coconuts, it is sulfate-free, biodegradable and has COSMOS approval.
It produces a good, creamy, long lasting lather and actually stabilises the foaming agents when oils are added to a formulation.
Even though it is a concentrated form of Cocamidopropyl Betaine, it is a very mild cleansing agent that is excellent to use in shampoos, shower gels, foaming bath products and face washes. It is mild enough even for use in baby products. It reduces the potential irritation of other surfactants and the more Beta T there is in a formulation, the milder the finished product becomes.
As it is amphoteric it is compatible with anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactants and can change from having a cationic charge (positive charge) to an anionic charge (negative charge) depending on the final pH of the product.
It performs well in formulations high in electrolytes such as salts so it will work with scrubs. It also tolerates acidic ingredients such as Aloe Vera Concentrate and Alpha-Hydroxy Acids very well.
According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Database (CosIng), the functions of Cocamidopropyl Betaine are: antistatic, cleansing, foam boosting, hair conditioning, surfactant, viscosity controlling
Use in formulations at 20% for an every-day shampoo. It can be blended with other surfactants as well and can be used at up to 80% to 90% of the total surfactants in a formula.
The higher the amount used, the gentler the whole formulation becomes without losing efficacy. Use 15% in a baby wash.
It has good thickening properties when combined with other surfactants. When used up to 15%, it can replace the salt that would be used for thickening. If used at above 30%, no additional thickening agent is required.
Skin Care
Excellent cleansing ability for use in body washes, cleansers, facial washes, hand washes and shaving products.
Does not leave the skin feeling tight or dry. Good choice for baby baths and children's shampoos.
Hair Care
Excellent for shampoos for all hair types including processed hair as it is gentle and not stripping of the natural oils in the hair and on the scalp.

Good product
"I'm new to making my own skin and hair care products, this Beta T worked well for my first attempt at making a shampoo. It's useful to have the detailed info on your website about each product and to have recipes to try (I tried your dry hair shampoo recipe)."

Q&A
- I’m trying to come up with a formula for a mild shampoo for dogs, a natural brand I’ve read about uses ‘mild natural coconut cleanser’ in their ingredient list which I think must be this , I make all my own & family’s skincare , I’d like to make my dog’s too
- Thank you for your enquiry. We don't have experience with making animal products so can't advise unfortunately. Sorry we can't help on this occasion.
- is it palm oil free?
- Thank you for your enquiry. Beta T is palm oil free as it's derived from coconuts.
- Good Morning I’m trying to start switching all my ingredients over to more local supplies.. I”m just north of Inverness and Cocamidopropyl Betaine is one ingredients i go through a lot. In the description you describe it as concentrated.. Does this mean it is not the same as other products with the INCI name Cocamidoproply Betaine and my recipes would need adjusting? Many thanks for your help Sam
- Thank you for your enquiry. There are many different forms of Cocamidopropyl Betaine which all have the same INCI but don't all have the same percentage of active material which can affect the end result of a product; therefore, I would recommend carrying out some tests, initially using it at the same percentages as you currently do then adjusting up or down depending on your results.
- Hi. If my formula has Cocamidopropyl Betaine 30%, how would I use Beta T in comparison.
- Thank you for your enquiry. There are many different versions of Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Our Beta T is a milder form than some others. You can use the same percentage.
- Hi There, do you currently stock Amphotensid B5 Cocamidopropyl Betaine from Zschimmer and Schwarz??
- Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately we don't disclose any information in regards to our suppliers.
