A Rare Amino Acid Surfactant-TEA Cocoyl Glutamate

TEA Cocoyl Glutamate is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant synthesized through acylation and neutralization reactions between sodium glutamate and coconut oil acyl chloride. The gentle nature of coconut oil acid and sodium glutamate ensures its mildness, while its excellent solubility makes it an ideal raw material for mild cleansing and hair care products.

√ Natural source & Biodegradable

√ High purity & Low salt

Advantages of low salt:

1) Mild and safe: Low irritation. 2) Reducing factors affecting application performance: Superior foam properties, better low-temperature stability, and improved compatibility.

3) Environmentally friendly: Sustainable, reduce salt discharge. 4) Stability of Production: Salt content is controllable and formula is stable

√ pH value: weakly acidic, weak degreasing ability, excellent moisturizing performance

The pH of TEA Cocoyl Glutamate is controlled at 5.0-6.5, which is close to the pH of human skin, low irritation.

√ Foam performance: TEA Cocoyl Glutamate exhibits excellent foaming performance across a broad pH range (5.0-9.0), with peak performance observed at pH 5.0-6.0.

√ Dissolution: TEA Cocoyl Glutamate has good solubility and clarity, which is suitable for the development and application of transparent formulations.

√ Application: Shampoo & Body wash & Facial cleanser & Baby care product

Characteristic: Rich and delicate foam & The skin feels refreshed after washing & Recommended for use in liquid products & Suitable for products with pH between 5 and 6.5

√ Formulation Guidance:

1) Thickening agents: Low-salt Cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide mea, or alkyl glycosides.

2) The foam exhibits optimal performance at pH 5.5, which aligns with the pH of Cocamidopropyl betaine 35% (approximately 5.5), facilitating better compatibility.

3) The stimulating and transparency is better than sodium salt, the pH value can be adjusted to lower when the thickness is not enough.
