Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Disodium cocoyl glutamate is the di-salt of coconut fatty acid and glutamic acid — one of the mildest surfactant classes in existence, modelled on the skin’s own amino acids. It cleanses gently at near-neutral pH, produces a soft creamy foam, and leaves the barrier intact — the reason premium Japanese cleansers favour the glutamate family. At 5–20% it suits sensitive, dry, and post-procedure skin, and doubles as a secondary surfactant that mild-enhances any blend. Costs more than mainstream sulfates; the after-rinse comfort justifies it. Cleansing without the squeak of damage.
