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. It delivers effective cleansing and foaming performance while maintaining compatibility with sensitive skin formulations.

This ingredient is a preferred choice in mild, low-irritation personal care systems. In facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, it provides gentle yet thorough cleansing by reducing surface tension to lift oils and impurities without stripping the skin barrier.

Formulators use it as a primary or co-surfactant in sulfate-free systems where mildness and foam quality must both be maintained. In baby care and sensitive skin product lines, its amino acid origin supports compatibility with skin's natural pH range.

This natural compatibility reduces the need for additional buffering agents in many formulations. Home care applications include mild dishwashing liquids and surface cleaners where biodegradability and low dermal irritation potential are purchasing criteria.

TEA-cocoyl glutamate is supplied as a liquid or paste, typically as an aqueous solution. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification, with quality benchmarks aligned to JSCI and standard industry purity requirements.

Packaging ranges from drums to IBCs to suit both small-batch formulators and large-scale manufacturing operations. This versatile surfactant ensures high performance across a wide variety of personal care and household cleaning applications.
