Coconut Fatty Acid

Description :

Overview of Coconut Fatty Acid

Coconut Fatty Acid is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids derived from coconut oil, widely used in personal care and home care formulations for its emulsifying, cleansing, and surfactant-building properties. It typically appears as a pale yellow to light brown liquid or semi-solid, depending on temperature and composition.

In personal care products, Coconut Fatty Acid is an important raw material for soap making, surfactant systems, and emulsifier production. It is commonly used in toilet soaps, liquid soaps, shampoos, body washes, and cleansing bars, where it contributes to good lather, effective cleansing, and product structure. It is often processed further into derivatives such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoate, Coconut Fatty Alcohols, and Lauric Acid for enhanced performance.

In home care applications, Coconut Fatty Acid is widely used in detergents, dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, and industrial cleaners as a base ingredient for surfactants and cleaning agents. Its natural origin, good foaming ability, and biodegradability support modern and eco-friendly formulation trends.

ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Coconut Fatty Acid suitable for personal care and home care manufacturing, ensuring consistent composition, reliable performance, and dependable bulk supply.
