Description

Cocoyl Glutamic Acid is a high-purity, amphoteric surfactant derived from renewable coconut oil and glutamic acid. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and highly effective cleansing agent with excellent foaming and skin compatibility. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-end detergent industries for creating premium skin-friendly products.

Application

• Primary surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and shampoos.
• Key ingredient in baby care products and formulations for sensitive skin.
• Foam booster and stabilizer in syndet bars and cleansing creams.
• Co-surfactant in cosmetic formulations to enhance mildness and viscosity.
• Base for high-end liquid hand soaps and bubble baths.
• Raw material for synthesizing other gentle, amino acid-based surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Cocoyl Glutamic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, fatty acid profile, and residual solvents are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
