Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide (Incromine Oxide C)

Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide, also known as Incromine Oxide C, is a surfactant commonly used in personal care and household cleaning products. It is a derivative of coconut oil and belongs to the class of amine oxides. Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide acts as a foaming agent and helps in the removal of dirt, oil, and other impurities from surfaces.

Description: Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a slightly ammoniacal odor. It is produced by reacting coconut oil-derived amidopropylamine with hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizing agents.

Cosmetic and Cleaning Product Use: Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide is widely used in various personal care products, such as shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and facial cleansers. It provides effective cleansing and foaming properties while being gentle on the skin and hair.

Household cleaning products, such as dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, and bathroom cleaners, also contain Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide to enhance their cleaning power and foaming action.

Function:
1. Surfactant: Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide acts as a surfactant, meaning it lowers the surface tension of liquids and helps in the dispersion of oil and dirt, allowing them to be washed away.

2. Foaming Agent: It contributes to the formation of stable and abundant foam in cleansing products, improving their visual appeal and user experience.

3. Cleaning Agent: Cocoamidopropylamine Oxide helps in removing dirt, grease, and stains from surfaces by emulsifying and suspending them in water.
