MACKAM® 50 ULB is a high-active grade of cocamidopropyl betaine derived from a low color and odor vegetable feedstock. It is approximately 25% more concentrated than standard CAPB grades, which inhibits microbial growth, removing the need for preservatives. MACKAM® 50 ULB is stable across a broad pH range and compatible with both anionic and cationic surfactants. It enhances viscosity and boosts foam in anionic-based cleansers.
