Disodium cocoyl glutamate

Disodium cocoyl glutamate (CAS 68187-30-4) is an amino acid-derived surfactant produced by condensing coconut fatty acids with glutamic acid. It functions as a mild cleansing and foaming agent suited to formulations where skin compatibility and biodegradability are primary sourcing criteria.

In facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, it delivers gentle yet effective cleansing without stripping the skin barrier. This is a key requirement for sensitive-skin and baby-care product lines seeking high-performance ingredients.

It is used in sulfate-free formulations as a primary or co-surfactant, where its foam-stabilizing behavior complements other mild actives. In home care and household cleaning products, it contributes to grease removal and emulsification of oils.

The ingredient meets increasingly strict environmental and biodegradability standards required by modern industrial regulations. Its compatibility with a broad pH range also makes it a practical choice for conditioning cleansers and leave-on rinse products.

Disodium cocoyl glutamate is commercially available as an aqueous solution, typically at active concentrations around 30%. It is supplied to cosmetic-grade specifications aligned with COSMOS and ECOCERT-recognized standards.

These certifications support natural and organic certified formulations for global distribution. Packaging is standard in drums and IBCs for industrial buyers, ensuring efficient logistics and storage for large-scale manufacturing operations.
