Cosmetic Grade Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate CAS 301341-58-2
Products Description
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is an amino acid derived surfactant, mainly used in personal care and cosmetic products. It is a potassium salt formed by the reaction of coconut oil derived fatty acids (usually coconut acid) with glycine.
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate has good water solubility. This solubility enables it to disperse easily in water-based cleaning products and cosmetic formulations, thus playing its role as a surfactant. For example, when making hand soaps, it can dissolve quickly in water to form a uniform solution.
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is a multifunctional surfactant with multiple functions such as cleansing, foaming and mildness. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations.
Function
- Surfactant: As an anionic surfactant, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate effectively reduces the surface tension of water, helping cleansing products remove dirt and grease.
- Mildness: Compared to traditional surfactants, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is generally milder to the skin and is suitable for use on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation and allergies.
- Foaming agent: Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate can produce rich foam and enhance the product experience. It is commonly used in shampoo, shower gel and facial cleanser.
- Emulsifier: In some formulations, it can also act as an emulsifier to help the oil and water phases mix to form a stable emulsion.
Application
- Personal Care Products
- Facial Cleansers: Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is a mild surfactant that can effectively clean the oil, dirt and makeup residues on the skin surface without overly stripping the skin's natural oils. Due to its mildness, it is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. For example, many facial cleansers specifically designed for sensitive skin contain potassium coco - glycinate.
- Body Washes: In the formulation of body washes, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate can produce rich and fine foam. These foams can help distribute the cleaning ingredients evenly on the skin surface, enhancing the cleaning effect. Moreover, after rinsing, the skin won't feel tight and can maintain its softness and moisture.
- Cleaning Products
- Hand Soaps: Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate can quickly remove stains and bacteria on hands, and because of its mild nature, frequent use won't cause harm to the skin. When combined with other antibacterial ingredients, it can achieve disinfection functions while ensuring cleaning.
