Sodium cocoate is a natural surfactant and emulsifier derived from coconut oil, widely used in soap, detergents, and personal care products for its cleansing and foaming properties. This mild, biodegradable compound is a key ingredient in liquid soaps, shampoos, and household cleaners due to its effective yet gentle action on skin and surfaces. With a CAS number of 61789-31-9 and a general molecular formula of R-COONa, it requires no special storage beyond ambient conditions and carries a signal word of *Warning* for safety. Molekula supplies Sodium Cocoate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
