Bubble Up / Coco Betaine – For Soap & Cosmetics

Bubble Up – Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine is a mild surfactant derived from coconut oil. Surfacants attract oil and dirt, which makes them effective in soap, shampoo, and other similar products. Cocamidopropyl betaine is called Bubble Up because it produces gorgeous, lofty bubbles in your recipes.

Ways to Use this Product

Bubble Up is great for creating lather, increasing hydration, and thickening your products. We love Bubble Up because it produces “Hollywood” style bubbles in bubble cake recipes, shampoos, soaps, and other products.

• Add it to body wash or bubble bath recipes to boost the foaming power.
• Add foaminess to liquid washes and soap recipes.
• Add to your recipes to increase the viscosity and make the formula thicker.
• Create more foam in bubble bath bars or bath bombs.
• Use a small amount in melt & pour soap or whipped soap recipes to increase lather.

Product Details

Cocamidopropyl betaine is easy to confuse with Coco Betaine. However, these are different products. Coco Betaine is an entirely plant-based material whereas Bubble Up contains natural and synthetic ingredients. Both products come from coconut oil.

Both coco betaine and cocamidopropyl betaine are surfacants that work in a similar way. Cocamidopropyl betaine is a preferred ingredient because it is usually less irritating to the skin compared to coco betaine.

This product is sulfate free and is not a detergent. You can add it to soap recipes that you want to be sulfate-free and detergent-free.
