Lasted Resources
INNO’s amino acid surfactant series is organized so formulators and buyers can compare grades by chemistry family and physical form, then open the product page that matches the project—not treat every amino surfactant as interchangeable.
Use this hub to shortlist a grade for mild rinse-off work (facial cleansers, body washes, shampoos and related systems). Each product page connects the grade code to INCI-style naming, form, and controlled-document / sample requests.
Grade comparison
Form = powder / liquid / paste when obvious from the product. Typical use notes are generic and non-numeric. The WooCommerce grid is paginated; this table is the hub-level overview so buyers do not miss grades on later pages.
| Grade | INCI-ish name | Form | Typical use note |
|---|---|---|---|
| KWCA-30 | Liquid Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate | Liquid | Mild cleansing; foaming support in rinse-off systems |
| KWGC-30 | Liquid Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate | Liquid | Creamy-foam glycinate option; liquid handling |
| KWSCMT-30 | Liquid Sodium Taurine Cocoyl Methyltaurate | Liquid | Taurinate option for mild cleansing systems |
| KWAPL-30 | Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids | — | Mild cleansing; soft-foam style amino surfactant |
| KWSLHS-30 | Sodium Lauroyl Hydrolyzed Silk | — | Mild amino-based cleanser / foaming support |

| KWGCK-95 | Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate Powder | Powder | High-active potassium glycinate powder grade |
| KWCG-95 | Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Powder | Powder | Common starting grade for mild cleanser work (glutamate powder) |
| KWGC-95 | Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate Powder | Powder | High-active sodium glycinate for high-solids cleansing bases |
| KWLG-95 | Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate Powder | Powder | High-active lauroyl glutamate powder for mild cleansing |
How to choose
- Powder vs liquid vs paste: Powder grades suit high-active / concentrated base work and flexible dosing; liquid grades simplify weighing and cold or low-heat addition; paste grades offer higher solids with paste handling. Match form to your process and equipment—not only to foam preference.
- Glutamate: Often a first shortlist for mild facial and body rinse-off concepts when a soft rinse feel is a priority. Start with powder (e.g. KWCG-95) or liquid glutamate grades depending on process.
- Glycinate: Consider when foam character and rinse profile for glycinate chemistry are part of the brief (sodium or potassium; powder or liquid).
- Taurate: Useful when building mild systems that call for taurate / methyltaurate chemistry—powder, liquid, or paste depending on solids and handling.
- Other amino / related grades (apple, oat, silk, isethionate): Use when the brief specifies that INCI or sensory direction; compare on the product page rather than assuming interchangeability.
- Next step: Share format (gel / cream / clear), pH window, foam target, and benchmark INCI with INNO for a focused sample shortlist.
