What Is Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate?
Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate (SCG) is a premium amino-acid-based anionic surfactant synthesized from renewable coconut fatty acid and glycine, the simplest natural amino acid. Commercial cosmetic-grade SCG-30 is colorless to pale-yellow viscous liquid with 28-32% active content.
It produces rich, elastic and creamy foam, delivers moderate-strong cleansing power with outstanding skin compatibility. It will not over-strip skin lipid barrier during washing. It brings fresh, non-tight post-wash skin feel, avoids the heavy sticky residue of some surfactants. It can be used as primary surfactant for pure amino-acid cleansing paste / liquid cleanser, or compounded as co-surfactant to reduce overall formula irritation. It features excellent hard-water resistance and high biodegradability, widely adopted in clean-beauty, sensitive-skin and infant-safe rinse-off cosmetic products.
Different from Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate (glutamic-acid-type amino-acid surfactant), Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate owns better foam elasticity and superior salt-tolerant thickening property, easier to realize paste-forming for solid amino-acid cleansing cream. Different from sulfate-type SLES, SCG is amino-acid structured with far lower skin and eye irritation. Aogubio supplies high-purity cosmetic-grade Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate in bulk, offering free samples, full qualification documents and global one-stop shipping services for cosmetic manufacturers.
Core Advantages Of Our Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
Plant-Derived Amino-Acid Structure & Multi-Step Purification
Adopts green condensation synthesis and multi-step refining process, strictly control residual salt and by-product content, faint neutral odor, meets COSMOS / clean-beauty natural cosmetic raw-material requirements, suitable for high-end skincare product development.
Ultra-Mild & Skin-Barrier Friendly Cleansing
Amino-acid molecular structure, low skin-eye irritation. Effectively remove sebum, dirt and light sunscreen/makeup residue, meanwhile preserve skin surface lipid, reduce moisture loss. Safe for sensitive-skin, barrier-damaged skin and baby-care cleansing systems.
Rich Elastic Creamy Foam Performance
Generates abundant, fine, elastic creamy foam; foam remains stable under hard-water condition. Foam texture is bouncy and easy-to-rinse without stubborn residue film on skin surface.
Excellent Paste-Forming & Thickening Compatibility
Compared with many other amino-acid surfactants, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate shows better salt-response thickening performance, easier to produce solid amino-acid cleansing paste / cream, reduces reliance on polymer thickeners for cleansing formulas.
Wide-Range Surfactant Synergistic Compatibility
Perfectly compatible with anionic, amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants. When compounded with CAPB, Decyl Glucoside, Coco-Glucoside or Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, it can further optimize foam quality and lower system irritation.
High Biodegradability & Eco-Friendly
High biodegradation rate under natural environment, low aquatic toxicity, matches formulation concepts of environmentally-friendly personal-care and green cosmetic brands.
Stable Batch Quality & Flexible Supply
Consistent batch-to-batch active content, foam performance and physical-chemical indicators, fit for large-scale industrial production; support sample testing, small-batch trial order and large-volume bulk customization.
How Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate Works In Cosmetic Formulations
Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate molecules contain lipophilic coconut-fatty-alkyl tail and hydrophilic glycine-amino-acid salt head-group. In aqueous cleansing system, surfactant molecules aggregate to form micelle structures, wrapping sebum, dirt and particulate impurities, so contaminants can be washed away with water flow.
Thanks to glycine amino-acid polar group, it has mild affinity with skin keratin protein, will not aggressively destroy skin acid mantle. When compounded with other surfactants, mixed micelles are formed to weaken irritation from single strong surfactant. Raw SCG-30 liquid is alkaline; finished cleansing product needs pH adjustment to skin-friendly 5.5-6.5 to obtain optimal mildness, foam and paste-forming effect.
Main Functions & Cosmetic Application Fields

Formulation Guide: Dosage, Solubility & Matching Tips
Recommended dosage (calculated based on commercial SCG-30 30%-active raw liquid):
- -Amino-acid cleansing paste / facial cleanser (as primary surfactant): 15%-50%
- -Shampoo & hair-care cleansing product: 8%-30%
- -Body wash / shower gel: 5%-25%
- -Baby & sensitive-skin cleansing formula (co-surfactant): 2%-10%
Solubility: Fully soluble in water phase; insoluble in oil phase, add into water-phase under stirring during production.
Recommended matching ingredients: Cocamidopropyl Betaine(CAPB), Decyl Glucoside, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, glycerin, panthenol, citric acid / lactic acid (pH adjuster), sodium chloride (auxiliary thickener).
Formulation Notes:
- -Raw material presents strong alkalinity. After formula mixing, adjust finished-product pH to skin-friendly 5.5-6.5 with citric acid or lactic acid to realize best mildness, foam and paste-forming performance.
- -Processing temperature suggested ≤75℃; avoid long-time high-temperature heating to prevent color deepening and performance decline.
- -For solid amino-acid cleansing paste, reasonably match auxiliary surfactants and control pH value to achieve ideal paste texture.
- -Salt thickening capacity is limited compared with SLES; complex with polymer thickeners if high-viscosity is required.
- -Seal and store under cool-dry condition; low-temperature may produce slight turbidity; re-warm to room temperature and stir evenly before use.
