"Potassium" refers to the element potassium; "cocoate" refers to fatty acids from coconut oil. Potassium cocoate is the potassium salt of coconut fatty acids. Potassium cocoate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance that is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine 2 immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - into an emulsion) and as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of products during application).
