Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant created by combining fatty acids from coconut oil with L-glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid. Formulators favor this ingredient for its exceptional mildness and skin compatibility, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations, baby products, and facial cleansers where traditional sulfate surfactants would be too harsh. Its unique structure provides gentle cleansing with a creamy, luxurious lather while maintaining the skin's natural pH and moisture barrier, and it leaves a soft, conditioned after-feel rather than the tight sensation associated with conventional surfactants.
