SERUM COMPLET : COCOYL GLUTAMATE

TL;DR. This ingredient is a mild anionic surfactant used for cleansing, light foaming, and helping disperse oils in water-based formulas. It is common in facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and sulfate-free systems.

What does SERUM COMPLET : COCOYL GLUTAMATE do in a cosmetic formula?

This ingredient is a mild anionic surfactant used for cleansing, light foaming, and helping disperse oils in water-based formulas. It is common in facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and sulfate-free systems.

Is SERUM COMPLET : COCOYL GLUTAMATE clean?

It is generally well regarded in clean-beauty frameworks because it is mild, low in sensitization concern, and not a common restricted-list ingredient. Irritation is still possible at higher surfactant loads or in poorly buffered formulas, especially around the eyes.

Is SERUM COMPLET : COCOYL GLUTAMATE sustainable?

This ingredient is typically made from plant fatty acids and a fermentation-derived amino acid building block, so it can be based largely on renewable feedstocks. It is considered readily biodegradable, with sourcing quality dependent on the coconut or palm-linked fatty acid supply chain used by the manufacturer.

Is SERUM COMPLET : COCOYL GLUTAMATE COSMOS-approved?

It is permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic standards when made from allowed raw materials and compliant processing. Its renewable feedstock potential, biodegradability, and mild performance fit Green Chemistry principles well.

How does SERUM COMPLET : COCOYL GLUTAMATE work chemically?

The molecule is an N-acyl amino acid surfactant, combining a fatty chain with an amino acid-derived polar head group, which gives mild cleansing and good skin feel versus many stronger anionic surfactants. It is commonly used around 1 to 10 percent active surfactant in rinse-off products, often in pH 5 to 7 systems and paired with amphoteric or nonionic surfactants to tune foam, viscosity, and mildness.
