Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate
Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate (CAS 68411-57-4) is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil, meaning its head group carries both a positive and a negative charge. It is chemically very similar to Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, though considered slightly less mild than that ingredient. It functions as a cleansing agent, foam booster, hydrotrope, and conditioning agent for both skin and hair.
