What is Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate?

It is an amino acid-based surfactant that belongs to the acylglutamate group which is known to be one of the mildest and moisturizing groups of surfactants.

Most of our shampoos and toothpaste have a foaming quality to them. This is achieved by adding certain ingredients to the formulations - and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is one among them. It is a vegetable-based surfactant that is light on the skin and hair and does not weigh them down.
