Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate CAS 12765-39-8

What Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate Is

Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is the sodium salt formed when coconut fatty acids condense with N-methyl taurine, placing it among the taurate amino acid surfactants rather than sulfate cleansers. It is sold as a white crystalline solid or as a white to pale yellow paste, and the molecule carries a sulfonate head that lathers richly and keeps foam stable in hard water and with electrolytes. The cleansing action is mild and leaves a soft, non tight feel, so the ingredient fits sensitive and premium lines and blends well with anionic, nonionic and amphoteric co-surfactants. UATChem supplies cosmetic grade solid and paste forms, with active matter, pH and salt level reported on the TDS and COA for each lot.

Mild Cleansing and Personal Care Uses

• Facial cleansers. The primary mild surfactant in premium amino acid facial washes, foam cleansers and cleansing creams with creamy lather and no tight feel.
• Syndet and cream bars. A main surfactant in synthetic detergent bars, combo bars and cream soap bars.
• Hair and body. Adds gentle cleansing and dense foam to cream shampoos, body washes, shower creams and shaving products.
• Baby, sensitive and oral. Used in baby and sensitive skin washes and as a mild foaming ingredient in toothpaste and oral care.

Typical Specifications

Solid and paste forms differ in active matter, water and salt content, so values are reported on the TDS and COA for each lot; the table below identifies the ingredient for cosmetic formulation.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Solid powder is packed in fiber drums or paper bags with liner and paste in blue or 200 kg drums, palletized for export; packs stay sealed against moisture, and paste is protected from freezing and high heat.
• Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is a mild cosmetic surfactant safe within normal rinse off use and readily biodegradable. Every lot carries a TDS and COA with active matter, pH and salt level, together with SDS and INCI information; sustainable or RSPO graded coconut based material can be discussed, and samples are supported.
• For a quote, UATChem needs the form (solid powder or paste), quantity, packing and destination port.
