Cosmetic Grade Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate CAS 90387-74-9
Products Description
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is an amino acid derived surfactant, mainly used in personal care and cosmetic products. It is a sodium salt formed by the reaction of coconut oil derived fatty acids (usually coconut acid) with glycine.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate has good water solubility because the hydrophilic groups of the sodium glycinate part can form hydrogen bonds and other interactions with water molecules. It also has certain lipophilicity and can show certain solubility in some organic solvents (such as ethanol and propylene glycol), but its solubility in organic solvents is poorer than that in water. This solubility characteristic enables it to play a role in various formulation systems (such as water-based formulations and oil-water mixed formulations).
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate can produce rich, fine, and stable foam. When used in cleansing products (such as facial cleansers, body washes, etc.), it can quickly generate a large amount of foam, which can effectively wrap and remove dirt, oil and other impurities on the skin surface, and the foam has good durability, providing good conditions for the cleaning process.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is a multifunctional surfactant that has 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, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate effectively reduces the surface tension of water, helping cleansing products remove dirt and grease.
- Mildness: Compared to traditional surfactants, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is generally milder to the skin and suitable for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation and allergies.
- Foaming agent: It 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
Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is widely used in the personal care industry. In facial cleansing products, it can gently clean the skin, effectively remove dirt, oil and makeup residues on the skin surface, and is less irritating to the skin, suitable for all skin types.
In body washes, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate can produce rich foam, providing users with a comfortable bathing experience and preventing the skin from excessive drying.
In hair care products such as shampoos, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate helps to clean the hair and scalp, reduces the greasiness of the hair, and also improves the softness and luster of the hair.
- Oral Care Products
Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is also used in oral care products, such as toothpaste. It can act as a foaming agent to produce rich foam and enhance the cleaning experience during tooth brushing. In addition, it also has certain antibacterial properties and helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth, maintaining oral health.
- Industrial and Household Cleaning Products
Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate also has applications in industrial cleaning and household cleaning products. When cleaning metal surfaces, it can effectively remove oil and dirt and is less corrosive to metal surfaces. In household cleaning products (such as dishwashing detergents, floor cleaners, etc.), it can provide good cleaning effects, and the foam it generates is beneficial to the smooth progress of the cleaning process.
