Oleyl Betatine and the Vegetarian Diet
Oleyl Betaine is a type of surfactant that is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its conditioning properties. It belongs to a class of compounds known as alkyl betaines, which are derived from fatty acids. Oleyl Betaine is primarily used to improve the texture and moisture retention of products such as shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. It has not been widely adopted in the food industry, due to its primary function in non-food products.
