Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate

Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate (CAS 61791-59-1) is a mild amino acid-based surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and sarcosine.

Where is Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate used?

• Personal care: foaming agent, cleanser and emulsifier in facial cleansers, shampoos and body washes
• Oral care: foaming and cleansing agent compatible with fluoride actives
• Home care and industrial cleaning: foam stability booster and soil removal aid in liquid detergents and hard-surface cleaners
• It is co-formulated with primary surfactants such as sulfates or betaines to moderate harshness.

Good to know: Low irritation potential suits sensitive-skin product lines; co-formulation with sulfates or betaines improves the mildness profile for sensitive or compromised skin.

Commercial specifications

• Liquid or paste, typically an aqueous solution with active content around 30%
• Packaging: drums and IBC containers for bulk procurement
