Potassium cocoyl glycinate

Potassium cocoyl glycinate (CAS 301341-58-2) is an amino acid-based surfactant derived from glycine and coconut fatty acids. It functions as a mild cleansing and foaming agent, favored in personal care formulations where skin compatibility and low irritation potential drive ingredient selection.

In facial cleansers and foaming washes, it delivers effective cleansing with a dense, stable foam profile suited to sensitive and compromised skin formulations. Shampoos and scalp care products use it to balance cleansing performance with scalp tolerance.

This ingredient is often used in combination with other sulfate-free surfactants to enhance performance. It also supports emulsification and dispersion in leave-on and rinse-off formulations where uniform ingredient distribution is required.

Body washes and baby care products rely on it as a primary or co-surfactant to meet low-irritancy positioning claims. Its gentle nature makes it a preferred choice for high-end dermatological applications and premium consumer goods.

Potassium cocoyl glycinate is supplied as an aqueous solution, with active content typically in the 30–40% range. It is available in cosmetic-grade quality aligned with personal care industry standards for safety and efficacy.

The material ensures compliance with major international cosmetic ingredient regulations for global distribution. Packaging is standard in drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for commercial supply volumes and industrial use.
