Purity ≥ 95% (by HPLC)

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is a mild, biodegradable anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty acids of coconut oil and glutamic acid, an amino acid. It is widely recognized for its excellent cleansing, foaming, and skin-conditioning properties, combined with extremely low irritation potential. Its applications include:

Facial Cleansers and Body Washes:
Provides a gentle yet effective cleansing action that removes impurities, excess oil, and makeup residues without disrupting the skin's natural lipid barrier. Ideal for daily-use products targeting normal, dry, and sensitive skin types.

Shampoos and Hair Care Products:
Offers mild cleansing with rich, creamy foam. It protects the scalp's natural oils, prevents dryness, and improves hair texture by enhancing softness, elasticity, and smoothness. Particularly suited for sensitive scalp formulations and sulfate-free systems.

Baby Care Products:
Its ultra-mild cleansing ability makes it highly suitable for infant and toddler products, such as baby shampoos, bath gels, and gentle cleansing wipes, ensuring minimal irritation and maximum skin compatibility.

Sensitive Skin and Dermatological Products:
Frequently used in formulations for patients with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate reduces redness, itching, and inflammation associated with aggressive cleansing.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Formulations:
Made from renewable raw materials, it is readily biodegradable and compliant with eco-label standards (such as ECOCERT, COSMOS). Ideal for brands promoting green, natural, or vegan-friendly products.

Mechanism of Action:
Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate functions by lowering surface tension between substances, allowing water to effectively spread and clean surfaces. Its mild anionic nature ensures minimal interaction with skin proteins, thereby preserving skin hydration and preventing barrier disruption. It also enhances the stability and mildness of other surfactant systems when blended.

Typical Use Concentration:
Generally used at 1–10% depending on the formulation type:
Facial cleansers: 3–6%
Body washes: 5–8%
Shampoos: 3–7%
Baby care products: 2–5%
