Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate

Product Description

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is a high-purity anionic surfactant synthesized from natural coconut fatty acids and glycine, manufactured in our ISO-certified facility for stable global B2B supply. Mechanistically, it mimics the protein structure of human skin, providing efficient detergency while maintaining the integrity of the stratum corneum with a characteristic squeaky-clean yet non-stripping feel. As consumer demand pivots toward "Eco-friendly" and "Sulfate-free" formulations, this ingredient has become the industry standard for high-end foaming facial washes and body care products.

Product Specification

• INCI Name: Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
• CAS No.: 301341-58-2
• Chemical Type: Amino Acid Surfactant
• Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
• Active Content: 30.0% ± 2.0%
• pH Value (10% soln.): 8.0 – 10.0

Key Benefits & Applications

• Exceptional Foaming Power: Produces a rich, creamy, and elastic foam structure even in alkaline conditions, outperforming most other amino acid surfactants.
• Low Irritation Potential: Demonstrates excellent dermatological compatibility, significantly reducing protein denaturation and irritation compared to traditional SLS/SLES.
• Sensory Excellence: Provides a refreshing "rinse-off" feel without the slippery residue often associated with other mild surfactants.
• Applications: Ideally suited for premium facial cleansing foams, mild baby shampoos, shaving creams, and liquid soaps targeting sensitive skin.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Dosage: 5.0% – 30.0% as a primary surfactant; 2.0% – 10.0% as a co-surfactant to improve foam quality.
• Processing: Suitable for cold or hot processing; should be added to the water phase with gentle stirring to avoid excessive aeration.
• pH Adjustment: Best performance is achieved in formulations with a pH above 7.0; however, it remains functional in slightly acidic systems when combined with amphoteric surfactants.
• Synergy: Combine with Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate for an ultra-mild, moisture-retaining cleansing system with enhanced skin softness.
