Disodium cocoamphodiacetate

Disodium cocoamphodiacetate (CAS 68650-39-5), also known as DSCADA or DSCAD, is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids.

Where is Disodium cocoamphodiacetate used?

• Personal care: foam booster, secondary surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers
• Liquid hand soaps and baby care products: reduces irritation potential
• Household and industrial cleaning concentrates: emulsifies oils and greases, improving soil removal on hard surfaces
• Adhesives and coatings: dispersing aid compatible across a broad pH range
• It maintains effective cleansing performance while protecting sensitive skin.

Good to know: In shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers it improves foam texture and mildness when combined with primary anionic surfactants such as SLES.
