Sodium cocoyl taurate

Sodium cocoyl taurate (CAS 86089-05-6) is a mild, coconut-derived anionic surfactant used primarily in personal care and cleaning formulations.

Where is Sodium cocoyl taurate used?

• Facial cleansers, shampoos and body washes: rich lather and thorough cleansing without stripping the skin's moisture barrier
• Baby care and sensitive skin products: performs at a broad pH range
• Home care such as dish soaps and surface cleaners: degreasing performance and stable foam profiles
• Co-surfactant in emulsified systems, improving dispersion stability
• It boosts the overall cleaning efficiency of the base formula.

Good to know: A preferred alternative to harsher sulfate-based surfactants. It tolerates electrolyte-heavy systems.

Commercial specifications

• Standard commercial grades at active matter concentrations commonly used in personal care manufacturing
