cocoyl glutamic acid

Cocoyl glutamic acid is a chemical compound derived from coconut oil. The amino acid derivative has surfactant properties, making it useful in the manufacturing of personal care products such as shampoos and cleansing bars. It can be used to reduce foaminess or improve lather qualities while increasing the mildness of detergents for use on skin or hair. It is commonly used as an emulsifier, which helps to keep different ingredients of a product together. Cocoyl glutamic acid has the ability to cleanse and remove dirt from hair or skin without stripping away moisture.

cocoyl glutamic acid is a white to pale yellow unconsolidated granule with slight characteristic odour. It is unneutralized amino acid surfactant derived from coconut acid and L-glutamic acid, with outstanding foamability, good biodegradation, no irritation, no-hypersusceptibility. cocoyl glutamic acid can reduce irritation and leftover of anionic surfactant such as SLS and fatty acid soap. It's widely used in shampoo, facial cleanser, soft soap and baby shampoo.

Cocoyl Glutamic Acid is a detergent obtained from Amino Acids in flake form, is highly gentle and provides a good foam. Suitable for cleaning products in powder form such as face wash or liquid form.

Cocoyl Glutamic Acid, also known as Cocamide or coconut fatty acid amide is a surfactant that can be used in industry for different purposes. As it is amphoteric, the molecule has both positive and negative charges on its ends making it suitable to clean surfaces from oil-based deposits such as grease while removing water-soluble contaminants at the same time. The product can thus perform tasks of degreasing, emulsifying, and defatting with either acidic or alkaline mediums depending on whether there are more hydrophobic residues present.
Personal Care:
Cocoyl Glutamic Acid is used in various consumer products such as personal care and cleaning product. It can be formulated into a wide range of cosmetic and household chemical formulations, including face cleansers; shampoo/conditioner; shaving cream; mouthwash; dishwashing liquid/detergent; bar soap & body wash.
