Sodium Cocoamphoacetate (Sodium Cocoamphoacetate)

Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is a mild amphoteric surfactant commonly derived from coconut fatty acids and used in cosmetic formulations for gentle cleansing, foam boosting, and enhanced skin and scalp comfort. It is valued for improving lather creaminess and reducing the perceived harshness of primary anionic surfactants, making it well suited for sensitive-skin concepts and daily-use cleansing systems. As part of a surfactant blend, it can contribute to viscosity building, support stable foam across a broad pH range, and improve rinse feel by reducing friction and leaving a softer after-feel. Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is frequently found in facial and body cleansers, shampoos, shower gels, baby products, intimate hygiene formats, and micellar-style cleansers where mildness and good sensorial performance are priorities. Use level and performance are formulation-dependent and typically optimized with the overall surfactant package, electrolyte content, and thickener strategy to achieve the desired clarity, viscosity, and foam profile.
