Sodium cocoyl alaninate

Sodium cocoyl alaninate (CAS 90170-45-9), also known commercially as N-coco acyl alanine sodium salt, is an amino acid-derived anionic surfactant produced by condensing coconut fatty acids with L-alanine.

Where is Sodium cocoyl alaninate used?

• Rinse-off personal care: gentle, thorough cleansing with a dense, stable foam profile for low-irritation facial cleansers, shampoos and body washes
• Conditioning shampoos and scalp treatments: surfactant mildness alongside cleaning efficacy
• Home care and industrial cleaning concentrates: emulsification and degreasing at moderate use levels
• Textile and leather processing: scouring agent
• It serves as a dispersing agent where biodegradable surfactant chemistry is required.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, typically 28–30% active content
• Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
• COSMOS/ECOCERT certification available from select producers
