Is cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine made from coconut?
Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine is a foaming cleanser from the same family as cocamidopropyl betaine. Both start from the fatty acids of coconut oil; the “coc” in the name is the coconut.
It turns up in sulfate-free shampoos and facial cleansers, often next to other coconut-derived cleansers. A product that swaps cocamidopropyl betaine for this one has not moved away from coconut.
