About MACADAMIAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE

A mild amphoteric cleanser that helps formulas foam and rinse without being as harsh as stronger detergents.

Detailed Analysis

Betaine-type surfactants carry both positive and negative charge depending on pH, which usually gives them better dermatological tolerance than harsher anionic cleansers. The practical concerns are mild irritation, plus possible trace amidoamine or DMAPA-type impurities from manufacturing.
