Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, also known as Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, is a substance made popular by the cosmetic industry. It is a natural soaping agent whose main purpose is to provide lather to products while gently cleansing the skin or hair. Its popularity in cosmetic products is mainly due to the fact that it is a low-irritant substance that respects the natural pH balance of the skin. In addition, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate has excellent moisturising properties and is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate can be found in a wide range of cosmetic products, the most common of which include shower gels, shampoos, shaving foams, hand creams, but also cleansers used in dermatology. The substance can also be found in premium make-up remover lotions and lotions. All of these products benefit from its advantages - its ability to create a rich lather, its effective cleansing abilities, while being gentle on the skin and not drying it out. These properties make Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate significantly different from many other synthetic soaps and cleansers that can over-dry and irritate the skin.
