TEA-cocoyl glutamate

TEA-cocoyl glutamate (CAS 68187-29-1) is an amino acid-derived anionic surfactant produced by combining coconut fatty acids with glutamic acid, neutralized with triethanolamine.

Where is TEA-cocoyl glutamate used?

• Facial cleansers, shampoos and body washes: gentle cleansing by reducing surface tension to lift oils and impurities without stripping the skin barrier
• Sulfate-free systems: primary or co-surfactant where mildness and foam quality must both be maintained
• Baby care and sensitive skin lines: amino acid origin supports compatibility with skin's natural pH range
• Home care: mild dishwashing liquids and surface cleaners where biodegradability and low dermal irritation potential are purchasing criteria
• It reduces the need for additional buffering agents in many formulations.

Commercial specifications

• Cosmetic-grade specification, quality benchmarks aligned to JSCI and standard industry purity requirements
• Packaging ranges from drums to IBCs
