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. It delivers effective cleansing and foam generation while maintaining compatibility with sensitive skin systems.

This ingredient serves as a preferred alternative to harsher sulfate-based surfactants in modern formulations. In facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, it provides rich lather and thorough cleansing without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Baby care and sensitive skin product formulators rely on it specifically because it performs at a broad pH range. It also tolerates electrolyte-heavy systems, ensuring stability in complex chemical mixtures and diverse consumer applications.

In home care formulations such as dish soaps and surface cleaners, it contributes both degreasing performance and stable foam profiles. It also functions as a co-surfactant in emulsified systems, improving dispersion stability across the formula.

By boosting the overall cleaning efficiency of the base formula, it allows for high-performance products. Sodium cocoyl taurate is typically supplied as a white to off-white powder or paste, depending on concentration and processing.

Standard commercial grades are available at active matter concentrations commonly used in personal care manufacturing. Both cosmetic-grade and industrial-grade specifications are available to support different regulatory and formulation requirements.
