Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
Sodium cocoyl glycinate (SCG; INCI: Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate; CAS 90387-74-9; EC 291-350-5) is a premium, mild anionic amino-acid surfactant (C₁₄H₂₆NNaO₃ on a C12 basis, ≈279.35) derived from coconut fatty acids and glycine, supplied by Royalchem Spain at 25–30% active matter. It delivers creamy, dense foam, excellent skin compatibility and good foaming even in hard water, with high biodegradability — making it an ideal sulfate-free primary or co-surfactant for facial cleansers, body washes, shampoos, baby care and toothpaste.
