Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is an exceptionally mild, sulfate-free surfactant derived from coconut oil and glutamic acid, an amino acid found in plants and the human body. It’s known for its skin-friendly, moisturizing properties, making it an excellent choice for sensitive scalps, baby shampoos, and gentle hair care formulations.
In shampoo bars, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate provides a light, silky lather that cleanses without stripping moisture or disrupting the scalp’s natural balance. It’s a pH-balanced surfactant, making it ideal for dry, curly, color-treated, or damaged hair. It’s also non-comedogenic and non-irritating, making it a top pick for gentle facial cleansers and scalp-friendly shampoo bars.
