About
A gentle, amino-acid-derived surfactant that cleanses hair and skin without stripping away natural oils.
Ammonium cocoyl sarcosinate is produced from sarcosine (an amino acid) and coconut fatty acids, functioning as an anionic surfactant. It is recognized as a mild surfactant suitable for sensitive-skin formulations and is permitted under EU Cosmetics Regulation without specific restriction. It biodegrades readily and is considered environmentally benign.
