What is Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate CAS 301341-58-2?

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is an anionic amino-acid surfactant made from coconut fatty acids and glycine. Its INCI name is Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, with CAS 301341-58-2, EC 620-582-5, molecular formula C28H53KNO5+, and molecular weight about 522.82 g/mol.

Why is Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate described as mild?

It is positioned as a mild cleansing and foaming surfactant with good skin compatibility. It is commonly selected for facial cleansers, body wash, baby care, and sensitive-skin rinse-off products because it can clean without the heavy degreasing often associated with stronger primary surfactants.

What supply forms are available for Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate?

It is commonly offered as a clear to slightly yellow liquid, often with about 25-30% active matter, or as a high-active white to off-white powder, often around 95% active matter. The correct form should be chosen according to the target surfactant concentration and manufacturing process.

How is Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate used in sulfate-free formulations?

It works well as a primary or co-surfactant in amino-acid and sulfate-free cleansing systems. It helps build dense, creamy foam and is often combined with other mild surfactants to balance cleansing, foam quality, and after-feel in shampoo, shower gel, and facial cleanser formulations.

What pH and compatibility factors should be checked?

The supplier pH range depends on grade and test dilution, commonly around 6.0-9.0 for a 1% solution. As an anionic surfactant, it should be checked for compatibility with cationic conditioning agents or preservatives, and stored away from prolonged high temperatures and moisture.

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate CAS 301341-58-2

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant commonly used in mild cleansing and personal care formulations. In commercial supply, it is positioned as a functional surfactant raw material rather than a general industrial detergent ingredient. This product is valued for its gentle cleansing profile, soft after-feel, and good foam performance in facial cleansers, body wash, shampoos, hand cleansers, and related rinse-off systems. Depending on grade and supply form, it can be offered as powder or liquid concentrate for formulation use. Standard export supply can be arranged, with COA, TDS, and SDS available according to customer requirements. For glutamate-based mild surfactant systems, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate is a related amino-acid surfactant to compare by active content, pH range and blend compatibility.

Functional Role

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is generally used as a mild primary surfactant or co-surfactant in personal care formulations. It is often selected when formulators want a cleaner skin feel, gentle cleansing performance, and improved foam quality in amino acid surfactant systems.

Typical Supply Form

This product can be supplied in powder form or liquid form depending on the required active content and formulation target. Commercial catalogs commonly show high-active powder grades and around 30% liquid grades for personal care use.

For related amino-acid and mild surfactant pages, review Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, and Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate.

Packaging

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate can be supplied in sealed packaging suitable for powder or liquid surfactant raw materials. Packaging arrangement can be made according to product form, order volume, and shipping requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place in tightly closed original packaging. Protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and contamination. Proper storage conditions help maintain handling stability during warehousing and transportation.
