We supply Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate powder as INNO KWCG-95, a cosmetic-grade high-active cocoyl glutamate surfactant for soft foam and a less tight rinse feel.
Key Benefits of Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Powder (KWCG-95)
- KWCG-95 is a weakly acidic, high-active glutamate powder developed for gentle daily cleansing. Its low-irritation profile and moisturized rinse feel make it especially useful in products for dry and sensitive skin.
- It produces abundant, fine and elastic foam with a creamy texture. The finished wash feels soft rather than stripped, which helps formulators distinguish a mild cleanser from a conventional high-detergency base.
- The coconut-derived grade has a light natural coconut note, no harsh surfactant odor and good stability at both high and low temperatures. These traits make sensory and stability work more straightforward.
- KWCG-95 can be used as the main surfactant or blended with other surfactants. It gives formulators room to adjust cleansing power, foam density and after-feel while keeping the system mild.
- The raw materials come from renewable plant-based sources. INNO also has mature formula platforms for this grade, which can shorten screening work for facial cleanser, shampoo and body wash projects.
| Acid value | 100-135 mgKOH/g |
| Loss On Drying | ≤5% |
| Heavy Metals (PPM) | ≤20 |
| Arsenic Content (PPM) | ≤2 |
Recommended applications
- KWCG-95 suits daily facial cleansers for dry and sensitive skin, especially when the desired finish is moisturized, soft and free from a sharp squeaky rinse.
- Use it in creamy cleansing pastes and pump foams that need abundant, elastic lather and a premium mousse texture.
- It can serve as the main surfactant in mild shampoo, body wash and hand wash or as a co-surfactant that softens a stronger cleansing base.
- The powder also fits shaving cream and toothpaste projects that need stable foam, broad compatibility and a plant-derived ingredient story.

Frequently asked questions
The KWCG-95 cleanser still feels squeaky after rinsing. Which variables should be adjusted first?
Check total surfactant solids and the ratio of the stronger co-surfactants before adding more emollient. A side-by-side rinse panel at equal cleansing power will show whether the issue comes from the surfactant balance or from fragrance, solvent or pH changes elsewhere in the formula.
How do you keep a KWCG-95 batch from forming undissolved powder pockets?
Introduce the powder gradually into a moving water phase instead of charging it in one step. Give the batch time to hydrate before final viscosity and pH adjustment, and avoid drawing excess air into the vessel during dispersion.
Can an existing Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate powder be replaced with KWCG-95 without a new stability program?
No. Match active matter for the first prototype, then rebuild the pH, electrolyte and thickener work because the two surfactants do not give the same rheology. Repeat foam, rinse and stability checks before approving the conversion.
How can batch-to-batch rinse feel be checked without relying on panel memory?
Keep a qualified reference cleanser and use coded paired samples at the same temperature, water hardness and wash procedure. Record immediate rinse drag and delayed tightness on a fixed scale rather than asking whether the new lot simply feels acceptable.
