• Shampoos and body washes: high-foam lather and sebum removal, a coconut-derived alternative to sulfate systems
• Liquid hand soaps and facial cleansers: balances cleansing efficacy with mildness
• Household and industrial cleaning: grease emulsification and soil suspension
• In co-surfactant blends with other anionic and amphoteric surfactants it supports customized foam and viscosity profiles in hard surface cleaners and dishwashing liquids.
