Overview Science Products

Overview

Sodium cocoyl glycinate is a cleansing agent derived from coconut fatty acid and glycine, which is an amino acid.

It is a mild surfactant, meaning it gently removes oil and dirt particles from the skin leaving it feeling clean but still lathered. It's also responsible for a creamy afterfeel of a product.
