Product overview
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is a mild anionic taurate surfactant evaluated for sulfate-free facial cleansers, shampoos and body washes. It contributes cleansing, foam quality and a soft after-feel, but it is not a cationic conditioning polymer; conditioning performance is normally developed with compatible ingredients such as Polyquaternium-10 or Polyquaternium-7. Buyers should compare active matter, physical form, pH, sodium chloride, color, odor and preservative system for the selected commercial grade.
