Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate

Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate (CAS 61791-59-1) is a mild amino acid-based surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and sarcosine. It functions as a foaming agent, cleanser, and emulsifier across personal care and cleaning formulations.

This versatile ingredient offers low irritation potential that suits sensitive-skin product lines. In facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, it delivers dense, stable foam while keeping the formulation gentle enough for daily use.

It is commonly co-formulated with primary surfactants such as sulfates or betaines to moderate harshness. This synergy improves the overall mildness profile of finished products for sensitive or compromised skin types.

In toothpaste and oral care formulations, it acts as a foaming and cleansing agent compatible with fluoride actives. It provides effective cleaning performance without compromising the stability of other oral care ingredients.

Home care and industrial cleaning products use it to boost foam stability and enhance soil removal. It is particularly effective in liquid detergents and hard-surface cleaners where high performance is required.

The product is supplied as a liquid or paste, typically as an aqueous solution with active content around 30%. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet various application requirements.

Packaging options commonly include drums and IBC containers suited to bulk procurement for industrial manufacturers. This ensures efficient handling and storage for large-scale production facilities across the globe.
