Cocoyl Glutamic Acid is a chemical compound derived from coconut oil. It is a skin-conditioning, hair-conditioning, and surfactant-cleansing agent in cosmetics and personal care products. It is used to improve the lather in personal care products like shampoos and soap bars. It is white to pale yellow in color and available in a flake form. It is an amino acid-based surfactant with an amino acid skeleton in the molecule.
Cocoyl Glutamic Acid is used in personal care products like shampoos and cleansing bars as a surfactant. Because the molecule is amphoteric and has both positive and negative charges on its ends, it can be used to clean surfaces of oil-based deposits like grease and remove contaminants that are water-soluble at the same time. Depending on whether there are more hydrophobic residues present, it can perform tasks like degreasing, emulsifying, and defatting with either acidic or alkaline mediums.
