CocoFoam (Potassium Cocoate)

CocoFoam (Potassium Cocoate) is classified as a surfactant and is used in personal care like any surfactant.  CocoFoam (Potassium Cocoate) is a pure soap, derived from the whole coconut oil (the potassium salt of fatty acids). Made from renewable resources, and preservative free, it's an excellent choice for natural cleansing formulations and cleaning products. CocoFoam (Potassium Cocoate) is a good substitute for Cocamidopropyl Betaine and other more harsh surfactants, and a wonderful choice for hand soap and other luxury soap, because it is derived from the whole oil and it contains the natural glycerine which may help avoid over drying the skin.

CocoFoam (Potassium Cocoate) is easy to work with. Just dilute, as required for your product performance needs, with water or some other water based ingredient. Like all true soap this will create the squeaky clean feel on the skin. We have found that it combines very nicely with our Polyglucose Lactylate Blend when you want to avoid that squeaky clean feel. Even in small CocoFoam (Potassium Cocoate) offers a smooth, conditioned, feel on the skin.

• adjust viscosity with sodium chloride
• final formulation pH of 8.0 - 9.0 for clear products
• do not combine with cationic ingredients for optimal stability
• combine with amphoteric surfactants to alleviate the "squeaky clean" feeling on skin
• even though this surfactant is water soluble, it is best to incorporate into oil / surfactant phase to avoid clumping and improve processing / compounding
