Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Sodium cocoyl glutamate is an amino-acid-based surfactant derived from coconut and glutamic acid — a salt of the skin-related amino acid, giving it exceptional dermatological mildness. It cleanses at near-skin pH, respects the barrier, and leaves a noticeably conditioned, non-tight feel. At 5–20% in premium facial cleansers it suits sensitive, dry, and post-procedure skin. Part of the glutamate surfactant family (with sodium lauroyl glutamate etc.) that Japanese cleansing science perfected. It costs more than sulfates; you feel the difference immediately after rinsing — comfort instead of tightness.
