Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (30% liquid and 95% powder) is a mild anionic amino acid surfactant, supplied as a colourless to yellowish clear liquid or a white to off-white powder, offering a gentle, sulfate-free cleansing solution for modern personal care formulations. At Benefacta, we supply this natural-origin ingredient made from coconut fatty acids and glutamic acid, ideal for a wide range of cleansing applications where mildness and skin compatibility are key.

Whether you are formulating facial cleansers, cleansing mousses, body washes or sensitive-skin products, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate delivers rich, stable foam between pH 5.5 and 8.0, with good performance in hard water. Its two hydrophilic groups give it a larger molecular size than most amino acid surfactants and a pH close to that of skin, making it particularly suitable for weakly acidic formulations. The liquid grade stays clear at low temperatures above pH 6.5, while the powder grade suits cleansing powders and concentrated formats.

We provide complete traceability and comprehensive documentation (TDS, SDS, COA) with every batch, ensuring consistent quality for European cosmetic manufacturers. The ingredient’s low salt content (NaCl ≤1.0%), low residual fatty acids and natural origin make it a preferred choice for formulators seeking mild, clean-label surfactant solutions that combine gentle cleansing with excellent foam performance.
