Benefits

•      Functions as a mild amphoteric surfactant that cleanses skin and hair without stripping their natural oils.

•      Acts as a foam booster that lifts lather volume and produces a finer, more stable foam in liquid cleansers.

•      Works as a secondary surfactant that lowers the irritation potential of stronger anionic surfactants in the same formula.

•      Serves as a viscosity controlling agent that helps build body and thickness in surfactant systems.

•      Documented as a hair conditioning agent that improves the feel and manageability of dry or damaged hair.

•      Compatible with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants, giving formulators flexibility across cleanser systems.

•      Recognised for low irritation and good skin and eye compatibility, suiting baby care and sensitive skin cleansers.

•      Plant based surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids, supporting sulphate free and natural origin positioning.

Applications

In a facial cleanser or body wash, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate provides gentle cleansing while keeping the formula mild enough for daily use on the face. It lifts dirt, oil, and light makeup without leaving the skin tight. Its amphoteric nature lets it pair with stronger surfactants to soften their effect.

In baby care cleansers and tear free baby shampoo, it is chosen for its low irritation and good eye compatibility. It delivers a soft, stable lather that signals a gentle product. It often acts as the primary mild surfactant in these systems.

In a sulphate free shampoo, it works alongside glucoside and betaine surfactants to add the foam these bases often lack. It cleanses the scalp without defatting the hair, adding a touch of conditioning that improves wet comb.

In liquid hand soap and bubble bath, it improves foam stability and skin feel after rinse. It tolerates a wide pH range, which keeps the formula consistent batch to batch.

As a mild surfactant in a makeup remover or micellar cleanser, it lifts light makeup and sebum while protecting the skin barrier. It works well in low surfactant micellar systems that contact the skin only briefly before rinse.

How to Use

For Sulphate Free Shampoo and Body Wash

Start with Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate at around 5 to 15 percent of your total formula as a secondary surfactant. The balance between this and your primary glucoside or anionic surfactant sets the final foam and mildness, and it shifts with the pH you are targeting.

For Baby Care and Sensitive Cleansers

As the lead mild surfactant in a tear free system, it is used at higher levels than in a standard wash. The exact level depends on how much primary cleansing you want it to carry rather than support, which is a decision specific to your base.

For Facial Cleanser and Makeup Remover

Use it at a modest secondary level to soften a stronger surfactant blend. The right ratio depends on your target after feel and whether the product rinses fully or stays briefly on the skin.

Technical Information

Pairs Well With

Pairing this surfactant with Cocamidopropyl Betaine combines two mild amphoterics to lift foam while keeping the system gentle. The split between the two sets how much foam and how much conditioning you get, and it is worth dialling in for your base.

Decyl Glucoside brings primary plant based cleansing to a sulphate free base, and this ingredient improves its lather and skin feel. The ratio that balances cleansing power against mildness depends on the rest of your surfactant blend.

Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate adds an anti residue, clean rinse character, and this ingredient adds mildness for sensitive users. How much you lean on each depends on whether your priority is rinse feel or gentleness.

Coco Glucoside is a gentle nonionic cleanser, and pairing it here improves the overall stability and mildness of a natural origin wash. The working ratio shifts with the hardness of your water and your target viscosity.

Any water based cleanser needs protection, and Euxyl PE 9010 provides broad spectrum preservation that suits this surfactant system. Dosage sits within the supplier recommended band and should be confirmed against your full formula.

Citric Acid lets you set the finished pH, which matters because the foam and lather behaviour of this amphoteric surfactant changes with pH. Where you set the pH is a formulation choice tied to mildness and foam.
