Foam Properties

COAB: INCI/CTFA Name: Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Highest overall foam height but the least stable, quickest flash foam

LMB: INCI/CTFA Name: Lauramidopropyl Betaine

Densest foam of all candidates, but less voluminous than COAB, requires
more agitation than others

BE-16 INCI/CTFA Name: Cetyl Betaine

Second to LMB in density of foam but has the longest sustained foam

COB: INCI/CTFA Name: Cocamidopropyl and Oleamidopropyl Betaine

Moderate foaming in comparison to others, good flash foam with
open structure

ROAB: INCI/CTFA NAME: Ricinoleamidopropyl Betaine

Moderate foamer with creamy after feel
