About

A coconut-derived conditioning agent combining a fatty acid amide with lactic acid to deliver hydration and a smooth feel to skin and hair.

Cocamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate is a quaternary ammonium-modified fatty acid amide derived from coconut oil fatty acids. The morpholine lactate counterion provides mild conditioning while the cocamide base contributes surfactant properties. It is not subject to EU Annex II or Annex III restrictions and is considered a low-concern ingredient for topical use. The lactate moiety may offer mild moisturizing benefits, and the overall amphoteric nature makes it compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations.

Skin benefits

  • Mild conditioning and softening of skin and hair
  • Provides smooth sensory feel
  • Lactate component may contribute mild moisturization

Known concerns

  • Minor skin irritation possible in sensitive individuals
