  How about disodium cocoamphodiacetate? It is effective, I say to combine it with Cocamidopropyl betaine. What do you guys say?

  One of my favorite amphoterics! No need to combine with CAPB either since it has superior performance as a detergent builder, hydrotrope, coacervating agent with polyquats, alkali-stable oil remover…I could go on. This is one of the few Gemini surfactants used in personal care. Most are used in HI&I formulation, where they are the best couplers around for cleaning products, especially high alkaline and high electrolyte kind. Gemini (called gem surfactants in some places) description fits the molecular structure like the Zodiac icon: a twin. Two twin hydrophiles on opposite ends of a shared lipophile.
