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.
