“Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate?”Here!
Hasn’t appeared in a scanned product yet.
In personal care
A mild anionic surfactant made by combining coconut-derived fatty acids with taurine, an amino sulfonic acid.
Why it’s used
It cleanses and creates a light, stable foam while being gentler on skin than harsher sulfate surfactants, which is why it shows up in facial cleansers and baby or sensitive-skin washes.
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.
