Sodium cocoamphoacetate vs CAPB
Do you have experience on both? Which is better? I mean about foam / conditioning / safety.

SCAA costs about three times as much as CAPB. It is thick versus thin. Often gives thickening effects. Produces better foam than CAPB (larger bubbles). They are both extremely mild.

Thank you Belassi for your response. Also i have read that CAPB was named “allergen of the year” in 2004.

CAPB “allergen of the year”? You can find it in every shampoo! Who called it that?
-
I think I am going to need rather more convincing than that, bearing in mind that just about every manufacturer in the world uses it in both sulphate and sulphate-free shampoos.
-
Or you could try Dehyton AB-30 as an alternative. It is a betaine. More conditioning than CAPB; it has an additional N+ as far as I recall.

I’m going to use it in my shampoo too. It’s written on the label, so everyone that has allergic problems can avoid it.
