Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a lipoamino acid surfactant formed by the condensation of coconut fatty acids and hydrolyzed collagen. Functioning as a remarkably mild, protein-based co-surfactant, it is widely utilized in the formulation of commercial personal care and cosmetic products. Known for its high affinity with keratin, it effectively reduces the irritancy of primary cleansing agents while imparting skin-conditioning and hair-softening properties. In the B2B supply chain, this ingredient is primarily distributed to manufacturers of gentle cleansing systems, such as baby care formulas, premium facial washes, and damage-repair shampoos. We supply this material predominantly as a stable aqueous solution, supported by standard industrial packaging and essential quality documentation to ensure seamless integration into large-scale manufacturing lines.

Typical Applications
- Personal Care Formulation: Acts as an ultra-mild co-surfactant in facial cleansers, body washes, and baby care formulations. It significantly mitigates the irritation potential of harsher anionic surfactants when used in combined systems.
- Hair Care Products: Utilized in conditioning shampoos and professional hair treatments. Its substantivity to hair keratin helps improve combability, reduce static, and provide a smooth, manageable feel.
- Foam Modification: Employed as a foam stabilizer and modifier to produce a rich, dense, and creamy lather in premium liquid cleansing systems.
Packaging
As an aqueous solution, this product is standardly packaged in 200kg plastic drums or 1000kg IBC totes designed for safe liquid chemical transport. The containers are specifically selected to ensure the integrity of the protein-based solution, preventing moisture loss and external contamination. Packaging configurations can be accommodated based on specific bulk order requirements and supply logistics.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, strictly away from direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, which may degrade the protein content. Containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in active use to prevent microbial contamination and the evaporation of the aqueous base. Protect the product from freezing during transit and warehouse storage to maintain phase stability.
FAQ
