Cocoyl sarcosine is an amino acid–based surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and sarcosine. It appears as a light yellow to amber liquid and is widely used for its mild cleansing, foaming, and conditioning properties. Known for being gentle on skin and hair, it is commonly incorporated into personal care formulations. It also provides good biodegradability and compatibility with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants.
