Overview
Myristamidopropylamine oxide (CAS 67806-10-4 ) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from myristic acid, functioning as a foam booster, viscosity modifier, and mild cleansing agent in personal care formulations.
It performs effectively across a broad pH range, making it compatible with both anionic and cationic systems without destabilizing the formulation. In shampoos and liquid cleansers, it enhances foam volume and stability.
This surfactant contributes to a smooth, conditioning rinse feel in various hair care products. Body washes and facial cleansers incorporate it to boost mildness and improve the sensory profile without sacrificing cleaning performance.
It is used in conditioning treatments and rinse-off hair products to support emulsification of oils and actives. Household and personal care liquid detergents also use it as a foam stabilizer and viscosity builder.
The chemical is effective in both sulfate-based or sulfate-free systems, providing versatility for formulators. Myristamidopropylamine oxide is typically supplied as an aqueous solution, with active content commonly in the 30–35% range.
It is available in technical and cosmetic grades suited for rinse-off and leave-on personal care applications. Packaging options generally include drums and IBCs for bulk procurement to meet industrial manufacturing needs.
