Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate
Disodium cocoyl glutamate is an anionic, amino acid-based surfactant made from glutamic acid and coconut fatty acids. It's chosen for sensitive-skin cleansers to deliver creamy, low-harshness lather, broad co-surfactant compatibility, and easy rinse-off.

Our take
Is Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate a Good Ingredient?
Great, as this amino acid–based surfactant provides effective cleansing with a soft feel and shows strong mildness and skin compatibility in practice. It remains stable across typical cleanser pH and is often less irritating than harsher anionics.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Cleanses effectively while leaving a soft, conditioned feel. Often better tolerated than many traditional anionic detergents.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Used in cream‑to‑foam facial cleansers, milky body washes, kids’ shampoos, and solid cleansing bars for silky lather.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally low irritation potential in rinse-off formats; transient eye stinging is possible. No common regulatory restrictions at typical cosmetic levels.
