Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate

Product Description

Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate is a high-purity, anionic amino acid surfactant produced at our ISO-certified facility, ensuring a reliable B2B supply chain for global personal care brands. Its scientific mechanism utilizes the structure of L-Alanine to provide excellent detergency and emulsifying properties while maintaining a low irritation profile that respects the skin’s biological pH. As the global market trends toward "clean beauty" and sulfate-free formulations, this ingredient serves as a cornerstone for developers seeking to combine luxurious foam with dermatological safety.

Product Specification

• INCI Name: Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate
• CAS No.: 90170-45-9
• Chemical Type: Amino Acid Surfactant
• Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid / White powder
• Purity (Active Content): ≥ 30% (Liquid) / ≥ 95% (Powder)
• pH Value (10% soln.): 8.0 – 10.0
• Solubility: Highly stable in aqueous solution

Key Benefits & Applications

• Superior Foam Performance: Unlike many mild surfactants, it produces dense, creamy foam even in slightly acidic to neutral conditions, improving the sensory experience.
• Dermal Compatibility: Demonstrates significantly lower protein denaturation compared to traditional sulfates, reducing the risk of trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
• Environmental Sustainability: Derived from natural coconut fatty acids and amino acids, offering excellent biodegradability and meeting green chemistry standards.
• Applications: Primary or secondary surfactant in premium facial cleansers, baby shampoos, moisturizing body washes, and sulfate-free hair care systems.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Dosage: 5.0% – 25.0% for primary surfactant use; 1.0% – 5.0% as a secondary co-surfactant.
• Stability Note: Optimal foaming performance is observed between pH 5.5 and 7.5; stable in aqueous solution during cold or hot processing.
• Hard Water Tolerance: Maintains excellent foaming and cleansing efficiency even in hard water conditions.
• Synergy: Combine with Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate for an enhanced foaming profile and improved rinse-off skin feel.
