Description
Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate is a mild, anionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid. As a gentle cleansing agent, it is widely used in personal care formulations such as shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, and baby care products. Known for its excellent skin compatibility, this ingredient creates a rich, stable foam while preserving the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It is biodegradable, sulfate-free, and ideal for formulations targeting sensitive skin.
This ingredient is produced through a sustainable process and is compliant with modern formulation demands for clean-label, plant-based ingredients. Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate provides a perfect balance of cleansing performance and mildness, making it a preferred choice in both conventional and natural cosmetics.
