{"product_id":"softan-gcp-30-potassium-cocoyl-glycinate-v2","title":"Softan GCP 30 Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate","description":"\u003cp\u003eHerbology Softan GCP-30 (Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate) is a premium quality, cosmetic grade amino acid based mild anionic surfactant, produced by the condensation of coconut fatty acids with glycine (the simplest amino acid) followed by potassium salt neutralization, yielding a gentle, skin compatible, and biodegradable surfactant with exceptional mildness and cleansing performance. Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate belongs to the acyl glycinate family of amino acid surfactants, one of the most advanced and skin friendly classes of surfactants available in modern cosmetic formulation, derived entirely from natural coconut oil and amino acid sources. It is the preferred primary or co surfactant for premium sulfate free, natural, and sensitive skin formulations where the harshness of conventional anionic surfactants (SLS, SLES) is unacceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoftan GCP-30's mildness is derived from its amino acid structure: the glycine head group is naturally present in human skin proteins and has an inherent biocompatibility with skin that synthetic surfactant head groups lack. Its isoelectric point (the pH at which it carries no net charge) is close to the natural pH of skin (pH 4.5 to 5.5), meaning it interacts minimally with skin proteins and lipids at physiological pH, producing significantly less irritation than conventional anionic surfactants. Its foam profile produces a dense, creamy, and aesthetically premium lather that is characteristic of amino acid surfactants and is highly valued in luxury personal care formulations. Its biodegradability and natural origin make it the preferred surfactant for certified natural, organic, and eco-friendly formulations. As a mild anionic surfactant, it is compatible with anionic, non ionic, and amphoteric surfactants, and can be used as a primary surfactant in ultra mild formulations or as a co surfactant to enhance the mildness of SLES or SLS based systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlycine Amino Acid Biocompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e glycine head group is naturally present in skin proteins; isoelectric point close to skin pH minimizes protein and lipid interaction for exceptional mildness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSulfate Free Ultra Mild Cleansing\u003c\/strong\u003e gentle, non stripping cleansing that maintains skin's natural moisture balance; ideal for sensitive skin, daily use, and baby care formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDense Creamy Premium Foam\u003c\/strong\u003e characteristic amino acid surfactant lather; dense, creamy, and aesthetically superior to conventional surfactant foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural and Biodegradable\u003c\/strong\u003e coconut oil and glycine derived; readily biodegradable; suitable for certified natural, organic, and eco-friendly formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad Surfactant Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e compatible with anionic, non ionic, and amphoteric surfactants; use as primary surfactant or mildness enhancing co surfactant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkin pH Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e isoelectric point close to skin's natural pH 4.5 to 5.5 for minimal skin protein disruption and superior skin compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormulation Guidelines\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended use level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 15% as primary surfactant in ultra mild formulations; 3 to 8% as co surfactant in SLES or SLS based systems for mildness enhancement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive content:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 30% active Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add to water phase at room temperature to 40 degrees C with gentle mixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optimal performance at pH 5.0 to 6.5; adjust with citric acid or lactic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e SLES, CAPB, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, non ionic surfactants, and most cosmetic ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sulfate free face washes, premium shampoos, baby shampoos, sensitive skin body washes, luxury shower gels, and natural certified cleansing formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold standard sulfate free face wash formulation uses Softan GCP-30 (8 to 10%) as the primary mild anionic surfactant, CAPB (3 to 4%) as the amphoteric co surfactant for foam enhancement and additional mildness, and sodium PCA or glycerin (3 to 5%) as a humectant, adjusted to pH 5.5 with citric acid.
