Description

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is a high-performance, mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and glycine. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming properties, skin compatibility, and biodegradability, making it a premium choice for formulations requiring gentle yet effective cleansing. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-end detergent industries seeking sulfate-free and eco-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Gentle Facial Cleansers & Makeup Removers: Ideal for sulfate-free formulations that require mildness and low irritation potential.
• Baby Care Products: Used in shampoos, body washes, and bubble baths due to its superior skin-friendliness.
• Premium Shampoos & Conditioners: Provides rich, stable lather and enhances the mildness of hair care systems.
• Liquid Soaps & Hand Washes: Serves as a primary surfactant in mild, frequent-use hand cleansing products.
• Shaving Creams & Gels: Contributes to a creamy, lubricating lather that minimizes razor drag and skin irritation.
• Sensitive Skin Formulations: A key ingredient in products designed for eczema-prone or sensitive skin types.
• Natural & Organic Cosmetic Lines: Fits into formulations requiring plant-derived, biodegradable, and environmentally sound ingredients.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for purity, composition, and performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, fatty acid profile, pH, and chloride content. Our quality commitment aligns with standards relevant for cosmetic and personal care ingredient manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
