Lauramidopropyl Betaine is a mild surfactant. It is mild but us also a great foam booster in many liquid formulations such as soaps, shampoos, shower gels, and bubble baths. Detergency and foaming characteristics are generally unaffected by hard water. In skin and hair-care products, it can help lock in moisture by adding humectancy to formulations.Lauramidopropyl betaine is biodegradable, naturally derived from a renewable vegetable resource.
