Ingredients Details
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Common Name(s): Capb,cocoamidopropyl betaine,coconut betaine
CAS Number: 61789-40-0
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.
Typically Found In: Shampoos,body washes,facial cleansers,baby products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ amphoteric surfactant
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from coconut fatty acids and dimethylaminopropylamine
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
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).

Vegetable Glycerin
Common Name(s): Vegetable glycerol,plant-derived glycerin,sustainable glycerin
CAS Number: 56-81-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides plant-derived glycerin humectancy with explicit vegan natural credentials.
Why It's Used: Credentialed natural humectant โ vegetable glycerin's explicit plant origin provides the clean beauty and vegan credentials alongside glycerin's unmatched humectancy, safety, and barrier repair for natural cosmetic positioning.
How It Works: Glycerin (glycerol) from plant oil triglyceride hydrolysis during biodiesel production. chemically identical to synthetic glycerin but with plant-origin documentation. sustainable byproduct of renewable biodiesel production from rapeseed, soy, or palm.
Typically Found In: Natural cosmetics,vegan products,clean beauty โ identical function to standard glycerin
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ40%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ explicitly from plant sources (biodiesel byproduct)
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2026-01-05 00:00:00 -0800
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5

Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Vegetable glycerin's biodiesel byproduct origin provides circular economy sustainability: biodiesel production from plant triglycerides generates glycerin as a co-product (approximately 10% by mass of biodiesel). this abundant sustainable supply from renewable feedstocks makes vegetable glycerin one of cosmetics' most genuinely sustainable primary ingredients.
