Description

Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is a high-purity, 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 ingredient for demanding personal care formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, skincare, and high-end cleansing product industries who require gentle yet effective surfactants.

Application

• Premium Facial Cleansers & Makeup Removers: Ideal for creating gentle, low-irritation formulas that effectively cleanse without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
• Baby Shampoos & Bath Products: Used for its mildness and hypoallergenic potential, ensuring safety and comfort for sensitive skin.
• Sulfate-Free Shampoos & Body Washes: Serves as a primary surfactant in "no sulfate" formulations, providing rich, stable lather and a smooth after-feel.
• Sensitive Skin Formulations: Incorporated into products designed for eczema-prone or reactive skin due to its non-aggressive cleansing action.
• High-End Liquid Soaps & Hand Washes: Enhances product luxury with superior foam quality and skin-conditioning benefits.
• Cosmetic Foaming Agents: Used in foaming masks, mousses, and aerosol products where a stable and creamy foam is desired.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and safety for cosmetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, fatty acid profile, pH, and residual solvents is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
