2025-08-16

What exactly is Cocamidopropylamine Oxide?

Cocamidopropylamine Oxide (abbreviated as CAO, CAS No. 68155-09-9) is a coconut oil-derived surfactant classified as an amine oxide. It falls under the category of zwitterionic surfactants, meaning it can behave as either cationic or non-ionic depending on the pH of its environment. This adaptability makes it a powerhouse in formulations requiring both efficacy and mildness.

How does it look and what are its key physical properties?

Visually, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide presents as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with a faint, characteristic odor—or sometimes no discernible odor at all. It boasts excellent water solubility and stability across varying conditions, including hard water.
