Ammonium cocoyl isethionate

Ammonium cocoyl isethionate (CAS 223705-57-5) is a mild, coconut-derived anionic surfactant used as a primary cleansing agent. Also marketed as Jordapon ACI 30 and Jordapon ACI 30G.

Where is Ammonium cocoyl isethionate used?

• Rinse-off personal care: primary surfactant in solid and liquid cleansers, shampoo bars, and baby wash formulations
• Body wash and facial cleansers: dense, stable lather without harshness
• Syndets: structural and cleansing backbone for soap-free bar formats with a defined pH range
• Home care: mild dishwashing and surface cleaning products where skin contact is a design consideration
• It is compatible with other surfactants in liquid and solid formats.

Good to know: Its low irritation profile makes it a preferred alternative to sulfate-based surfactants for sensitive-skin product lines. Its biodegradable nature supports environmentally conscious cleaning products.

Commercial specifications

• Liquid dispersion (Jordapon ACI 30, approximately 30% active)
