Product Introduction: Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (CAS #: 38721-52-7)

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, identified by CAS number 38721-52-7, is a mild anionic surfactant derived from natural coconut fatty acids and taurine. With a chemical structure that combines the properties of fatty acids and amino acids, this compound is widely recognized for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and skin-compatible characteristics, making it a preferred ingredient in various personal care and cosmetic formulations.

Chemical and Physical Properties

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate exhibits a set of key properties that contribute to its effectiveness in personal care applications:

Appearance: It is typically a pale yellow to white paste or liquid, depending on concentration and formulation.

Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming clear solutions that are stable over a wide range of pH levels (especially in neutral to slightly acidic conditions).

Foaming Capacity: Generates rich, stable foam, which is crucial for cleansing products.

Mildness: Known for its low irritation potential, making it suitable for sensitive and delicate skin, including that of infants.

Compatibility: Works well with other surfactants (anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric), enhancing overall formulation performance without compromising stability.

Key Applications

The unique combination of mildness and functionality makes Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (CAS 38721-52-7) a versatile ingredient in personal care products:

Facial Cleansers: Used in gentle facial washes, foaming cleansers, and micellar waters, it effectively removes dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Body Washes and Shower Gels: Enhances the cleansing power and foaming properties of body care products, providing a luxurious lathering experience while maintaining skin softness.

Shampoos and Baby Products: Ideal for mild shampoos (including those for children) and baby washes, as it minimizes irritation to the scalp and delicate skin.

Liquid Soaps: Added to hand soaps and bath soaps to improve lather quality and mildness, ensuring thorough cleansing without causing dryness.

Cosmeceutical Formulations: Compatible with active ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, and exfoliants, making it suitable for advanced skincare products that require both cleansing and skin-nourishing benefits.

Safety and Handling

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is generally considered safe for use in personal care products, with a well-established profile of mildness and low toxicity:

Skin Compatibility: Undergoes rigorous testing to confirm low irritation and sensitization potential, making it suitable for daily use on most skin types.

Handling Precautions: As with all surfactants, avoid prolonged contact with eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain stability. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption or contamination.

For detailed safety information, refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and comply with local regulatory guidelines for cosmetic ingredients.
