Disodium cocoyl glutamate (CAS 68187-30-4) is a mild anionic amino-acid surfactant made by condensing coconut-oil fatty acids with naturally occurring L-glutamic acid, fully neutralised as the disodium salt. Skin-pH compatible, exceptionally gentle, and 100% readily biodegradable, it is a leading sulfate-free cleansing base for facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and baby care, used alone or to boost the mildness of other surfactant systems. Royalchem Spain supplies it at ≥ 95% active matter as a white solid (powder/granules), delivered from our Valladolid distribution hub in bags or fibre drums.

A primary surfactant for sensitive-skin facial cleansers, cleansing foams, and makeup removers — gentle cleansing at skin-compatible pH without stripping natural oils, leaving a soft, non-tight after-feel.
Delivers rich, creamy, stable foam in sulfate-free shampoo and shower-gel formulations, maintains hair and skin moisture balance, and pairs well with betaines and glucosides; well suited to colour-treated-hair products.
Ultra-mild and tear-free-formula compatible for baby washes and shampoos, and a renewable, 100% biodegradable choice for COSMOS/natural-certified and EU Green Deal-aligned personal-care lines.
Standard Packaging:
20/25 kg kraft-paper bags with PE liner or fibre drums — or to customer requirement. Distributed by Royalchem Spain from our Valladolid hub. Shelf life 24 months in original sealed packaging.
Storage Conditions:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and direct sunlight — the powder is hygroscopic and can cake. Keep bags tightly sealed; use dust extraction when handling in bulk.
