Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen

Product Description

Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a premium, high-purity anionic surfactant derived from natural coconut fatty acids and bovine or marine-sourced hydrolyzed collagen, produced in our ISO-certified facility to ensure consistent B2B supply. Scientifically, it functions by utilizing its protein-lipid structure to emulsify impurities while simultaneously depositing a protective peptide film on the stratum corneum, significantly reducing the protein denaturation typically caused by harsh detergents. In the current global "Skintelligent Cleansing" market, this ingredient offers formulators a strategic advantage for creating luxury-grade products that bridge the gap between cleansing and active skin repair.

Product Specification

• INCI Name: Potassium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen
• CAS No.: 68920-65-0

Key Benefits & Applications

• Dermal Barrier Protection: Unlike traditional surfactants, it possesses exceptional biocompatibility, minimizing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and protecting the skin’s natural lipid mantle.
• Film-Forming Conditioning: The hydrolyzed collagen backbone provides a distinctive "silky touch" after-feel, acting as a functional conditioner for both skin and hair during the rinse-off process.
• Irritation Mitigation: Effectively reduces the irritation potential of primary surfactants like SLS or SLES when used in synergistic blends, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations.
• Applications: High-end facial cleansers, anti-aging body washes, protein-repair shampoos, and dermatological cleansing liquids.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Dosage: 3.0% – 20.0% as a primary surfactant; 1.0% – 5.0% as a specialty additive for skin-feel enhancement.
• Processing: Suitable for cold processing; add to the aqueous phase under low-speed stirring to prevent excessive foam formation during manufacturing.
• pH Compatibility: Exhibits optimal stability and performance within the pH range of 5.5 to 7.5, aligning with the skin's natural acidic mantle.
• Synergy: Combine with Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate for an ultra-mild, dense-foaming system with enhanced moisturizing properties.
