Where is Disodium cocoamphodipropionate used?

• Personal care: mild cleanser, foam booster and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers
• Irritation reduction: mitigates the potential of harsher anionic surfactants while keeping lather quality, an advantage for sensitive-skin and high-end cosmetic lines
• Industrial and household hard-surface cleaners: degreasing with wide pH compatibility
• Textile processing: fiber wetting and emulsification of oils and finishes during scouring and dyeing
• In leather and paper processing, its dispersing properties improve uniformity of treatment baths and coating adhesion.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, active content typically around 40–50%
• Drum and IBC packaging for industrial volumes
