DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Boosts foam, enhances mildness, and conditions skin and hair when combined with primary surfactants.
Why It's Used: The standard foam booster and mildness enhancer in virtually all shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers โ provides synergistic mildness improvement with anionic surfactants.
How It Works: Amphoteric (zwitterionic) character provides positive charge interaction with hair keratin for antistatic conditioning. reduces irritation of co-formulated anionic surfactants via ionic complex formation. foam stabilization via bilayer reinforcement in foam lamellae.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Capb's mildness-enhancing synergy with sls has a molecular mechanism: capb's positive imidazoline head group forms an ion pair complex with sls's anionic sulfate group, reducing sls's free monomer concentration (the irritation-causing species) without significantly reducing micelle-forming capacity (the cleansing species).
