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.
