Disodium cocoyl glutamate (inci)

Disodium cocoyl glutamate contains di-sodium salts of various fatty acids extracted from coconut oil (name component "cocoyl"). Glutamate is a condensation product of the fatty acids of coconut oil and the glutamic acid obtained from fermented sugar. Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate is a standard surfactant in cosmetic formulations.

Disodium/Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is a very mild anionic co- and basic surfactant, which is characterized by its good skin and mucous membrane compatibility, favourable foaming behaviour and good biodegradability. The moisture balance of the skin is positively supported as the buffering effect of the surfactant maintains the natural pH value of the skin (approx. 5.5).

Glutamates are salts/esters of glutamic acid.
