  Hello,

  Please can CAPB be used alone as the sole surfactant in a face wash? If yes, at what percentage? Thanks

  It depends.
  Yes, it can if you’re formulating for very dry or sensitive skin. It will not clean as good as anionic surfactant, so if you’re formulating for oily skin type, that won’t be suitable. 

  You need to give it a try and see how it goes.

  Most of CAPB are coming as 30% dilution, so if you’ll use 10% of the raw material, you’ll get 3% of the actual CAPB.
