Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil that offers gentle cleansing without stripping the skin’s natural oils. It is widely used in personal care products, especially those formulated for sensitive skin, due to its mildness and skin-friendly nature.
This surfactant is effective in creating rich, stable foams, making it an excellent choice for shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products. It is also used to improve the texture and viscosity of formulations while providing a smooth, non-irritating feel.
Sodium Cocoamphoacetate’s mild cleansing ability is enhanced by its ability to balance the skin’s natural pH, making it suitable for everyday use in a variety of skincare and hair care formulations.
