Sodium Babassuamphoacetate 1 L

A gentle amphoteric cleanser for sensitive skin formulations

Sodium Babassuamphoacetate is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from babassu oil, valued across the cosmetic and personal care industry for its gentle cleansing profile. This raw material belongs to the broad category of Surfactants, where it stands out as a secondary surfactant designed to reduce irritation in finished formulations. Its main applications include shampoos, body washes, baby care products, intimate hygiene solutions and micellar waters, where low irritation and rich lather stability are essential. The 1 liter packaging suits small cosmetic labs, studio-scale manufacturing and trial batches before moving toward larger production volumes.

This amphoteric compound is known for softening the overall harshness of a surfactant blend, stabilizing foam texture and performing reliably across a wide pH range. Being derived from babassu oil, it is often positioned as a more naturally sourced alternative to classic sulfate surfactants, which makes it attractive for natural and green beauty product lines. Within household chemical manufacturing, this ingredient is also used to formulate gentle dishwashing liquids and delicate fabric cleaners where reducing skin irritation on hands matters.

When developing shampoo or cleansing gel formulas, it is recommended to introduce this surfactant into the water phase alongside the primary surfactants, keeping the temperature below 40-45 degrees Celsius to preserve the integrity of the active molecules. Typical usage levels range from 3 to 10 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired foam density and mildness. It pairs well with anionic and nonionic surfactants, enhancing their gentleness. Combining it with Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate produces a balanced, delicate lather, while adding Cocamide DEA helps thicken the formula and stabilize the foam structure.

For cream-textured cleansing products, this surfactant is often blended with natural fragrance components such as Surfactant Cocoa, adding pleasant sensory notes to the finished product. Store the raw material in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, it should be used within the timeframe recommended by the manufacturer, avoiding moisture contamination inside the container.

Gentle baby wash formulation

Sodium Babassuamphoacetate 80 g

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate 35 g

Cocamide DEA 25 g

Distilled water 850 g

Preservative 5 g

Fragrance 5 g

Pour the distilled water into a mixing vessel and gradually add Sodium Babassuamphoacetate, stirring gently until fully dissolved. Slowly incorporate the Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate while mixing at low speed to prevent excessive foaming during blending. Add the Cocamide DEA to thicken the texture and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Finally, blend in the preservative and fragrance, mixing thoroughly until the composition becomes fully uniform. Transfer the finished wash into a clean bottle and let it rest for 24 hours to stabilize before packaging into retail containers.
