Sodium cocoamphoacetate

Sodium cocoamphoacetate (CAS 68390-66-9) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil, recognized in the personal care and cleaning industries as a mild, foam-boosting cleansing agent.

It carries both positive and negative charge potential depending on pH, which makes it compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants across a broad range of formulations.

In personal care, it functions as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, where its mildness supports use in sensitive-skin and baby product lines.

Home care and industrial cleaning formulators incorporate it into hard-surface cleaners and degreasers to improve foam stability and soil removal without aggressive irritation profiles.

Textile and leather processing operations use it as a wetting and scouring agent to ensure even penetration of treatment baths during various stages of manufacturing and finishing.

In paper manufacturing, it supports surface modification and fiber wetting during processing stages. Sodium cocoamphoacetate is supplied as an aqueous liquid, typically at 35–40% active content.

It is available in cosmetic-grade and industrial-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care and cleaning applications respectively. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBC containers.
