Cocoyl Methyl Glucamide

Other names: GlucoTain

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Cocoyl Methyl Glucamide, also known commercially as GlucoTain, is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly surfactant derived from renewable sources. This substance is derived from coconut fatty acids and glucose and is known for its ability to create a rich and creamy lather, along with good skin and eye feel. This product is also particularly suitable for use in products for sensitive skin, as its mild properties help to minimize irritation.

GlucoTain is generally used in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products. It is a popular ingredient in shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps and facial cleansers because of its mild foaming properties and ability to remove oils and impurities without drying or irritating the skin. In addition, it is often found in baby care products such as baby shampoos and soaps, and in products for sensitive skin or for smokers. Due to its eco-friendly and skin-sensitive properties, Cocoyl Methyl Glucamide is an attractive alternative to traditional synthetic foaming agents in many cosmetic formulations.
