Cocamidopropylamine Oxide (CAO) is a high-performance amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It appears as a light yellow liquid and is widely used in personal care and household products for its excellent foaming, cleaning, and mildness properties. It is often used in combination with anionic surfactants such as SLES to enhance foam and reduce irritation, providing a balanced and synergistic cleansing effect. Its compatibility with various surfactants makes it a versatile choice for formulations.
