Amphoteric Surfactants

Amphoteric surfactants provide good lather, conditioning properties, and enhanced mildness compared to anionic surfactants, making them ideal for shampoos, facial cleansers, and baby care products. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include include Cocamidopropyl betaine and Lauryl hydroxysultaine. Trends like micellar technology and skinimalism have risen due to consumer interest in gentle yet effective cleansing. Some versions of amphoteric surfactants require compliance with purity and allergen regulations.
