Description

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a mild, anionic surfactant derived from the reaction of coconut fatty acids with hydrolyzed collagen, subsequently neutralized with potassium hydroxide. This compound is valued for its ability to provide gentle cleansing and conditioning while delivering substantive protein-derived benefits to hair and skin. It is a key ingredient for formulators seeking to create high-performance, mild personal care products with a natural appeal. The CAS number for this material is 68920-65-0.

Application

This versatile surfactant finds its primary use in the personal care and cosmetic industries, where its mildness and conditioning properties are highly prized.

• Shampoos & Conditioners: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant, providing gentle cleansing and improving hair manageability, shine, and feel.
• Facial Cleansers & Body Washes: Ideal for sulfate-free and sensitive skin formulations due to its low irritation potential and skin-conditioning benefits.
• Shaving Products: Used in gels and foams to provide lubrication and a protective, conditioning layer on the skin.
• Baby Care Products: A preferred surfactant in baby shampoos and washes where mildness is paramount.
• Liquid Soaps & Syndet Bars: Contributes to a rich, stable lather and a smooth after-feel in solid and liquid cleansing bars.
• Color Care & Repair Hair Products: Helps to protect hair color and improve the integrity of damaged hair through protein substantivity.
