Description
What is CAPB-Emery
CAPB-Emery is Cocamidoprolyl Betaine, which is abbreviated as CAPB. It is a rinse-off cosmetics raw material that is a coconut-based cleaning substance. It is an amphoteric surfactant and thus it is compatible with most other surfactants in the same formula.
EMERSENSE CBA is found under the Emery surfactant range and is Cocamidopropyl Betaine in liquid form, 32 percent active in the product. It is said to be a foaming agent, foam enhancer, stabilizer, and thickening aid. This is why CAPB-Emery is an appropriate option among formulators who wish to have a milder system of cleaners having a good foam with better end feel.
The Reason Behind the Use of CAPB-Emery by Formulators
- Richer foam: CAPB-Emery assists in the formation of more foam and in maintaining that foam. According to the manufacturer sources, it is a foaming agent, foam booster, and stabilizer.
- Milder wash feel: CAPB is popularly employed to make rinse-off cleansers soft. Other sources indicate safety as commonly used in rinse-off cosmetic products, with lower leave-on use remaining.
- Simple interaction with other surfactants: CAPB-Emery is compatible with anionic, non-ionic, cationic, as well as other amphoteric surfactants. This is highly applicable in the systems that are constructed using SLES and other popular cleanser foundations.
- Helpful thickness control: CAPB has capacities to develop viscosity in cleanser systems, particularly when combined with anionic surfactants. It is referred to as a viscosity aid or a slight viscosity enhancer in many supplier guides.
- Excellent performance on a variety of cleansers: It appears in shampoo, body and face wash, baby hand soaps, bubble bath, and even some conditioning rinse-off products. Good foam and detergency also feature in the presence of soap and hard water to some suppliers.
How to Use
Handling hazard: CAPB-Emery is a liquid. Slowly add it with gentle stirring so as not to form too much foam in the manufacturing process. It may become thicker or hazy at lower temperatures, but appears to again clear with a little warming. Handling should be done with gloves and eye protection, and the container should be closed after use.
Practical starting levels of rinse-off formulas are provided in the table below. CAPB typically falls within the low to medium part of the wide range of general supplier guidance, though real shampoo, face wash, body wash, and baby shampoo examples often fall within the range. Always select your own stability, viscosity, and pH prior to scale-up.
| Product Type | Typical Starting Level in Formula |
| Shampoo | 5 to 10 percent. Example shampoo formulas show 5.5 percent and 10 percent. |
| Body Wash / Shower Gel | 5 to 10 percent. Example body wash formula shows 10 percent. |
| Liquid Hand Wash | 4 to 8 percent for a mild foaming system. |
| Face Wash | 4 to 8 percent. Example creamy face wash shows 8 percent. |
| Baby Wash / Baby Shampoo | 3 to 5 percent. Example baby shampoo shows 5 percent. |
Target pH: The ideal target is a good working range (5.0 to 6.0) of most rinse-off systems. CAPB itself is stable over a broad pH range, though typical example CAPB cleansers and shampoos are at pH 5.2 to 5.5.
A realistic build order is presented below. It adheres to typical CAPB guidelines and sample cleaner recipes:
- Begin with water and any water-soluble helps or gums.
- Slowly add CAPB-Emery after stirring.
- Add your primary surfactant or the remainder of the surfactant mixture.
- Only heat when necessary by another ingredient. In most cleanser systems, this can be between 40 and 65 degrees Celsius.
- Allow to cool to less than 40 degrees Celsius.
- Include preservatives, fragrance, color, and heat-sensitive actives.
- Final pH adjustment and clarity and viscosity.
CAPB-Emery: What You Can Make
CAPB-Emery can be combined with shampoos, creamy shampoos, body wash, shower gel, liquid hand wash, face wash, baby shampoo, baby wash, bubble bath, cleansing lotions, and mild conditioning rinse-off products.
It is a highly helpful raw material when you need more foam, more mildness, and less difficulty in viscosity building in cleanser formulas.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between CAPB-Emery and Cocamidoprolyl Betaine?
A: Yes. Cocamidoprolyl Betaine has a short name, CAPB.
Q: Can CAPB-Emery be used with SLES?
A: Yes. It is usually combined with anionic surfactants since it enhances foam, mildness, and viscosity response.
Q: Does CAPB-Emery assist in making shampoo or hand wash thicker?
A: Yes. It is used to provide viscosity in most cleanser systems, particularly where anionic surfactants are involved.
Q: Can CAPB-Emery be used as a baby wash and face wash?
A: Yes. It is applied popularly in baby care and skin cleansers since it is mild; nevertheless, the end product must be tested and maintained as non-sensitizing.
Q: CAPB Emery price in Pakistan?
A: CAPB Emery price in Pakistan varies according to pack size and the order volume. Listings in public Pakistan indicate a broad dispersal, and to obtain an actual quote on your quantity is the best method.
