“Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate?”Here!
Hasn’t appeared in a scanned product yet.
In personal care
A mild cleansing agent made by combining coconut-derived fatty acids with glutamic acid, an amino acid, then neutralizing the result into a sodium salt.
Why it’s used
It is a gentle surfactant, used in facial cleansers, baby washes, and shampoos where formulators want cleansing without the harsher stripping feel of sulfates.
What the evidence says
We haven’t found a source for this one that you can open and check, so we’re not summarizing the evidence.
Look it up yourself
We would rather point you at the shelf than summarize something you can’t check. These are the same places we search:
- PubChem — what the substance is, chemically — names, synonyms and structure
- PubMed — every paper indexed by the US National Library of Medicine that names it
These are starting points, not our findings — we haven’t run them for you. A substance whose name is also an ordinary word (“Heart”, “Alanine”, “Water”) will return papers that are not about the ingredient at all.
Context
Used in both rinse-off and leave-on products; mildness relative to harsher surfactants is the main reason formulators choose it.
