Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a clear yellow liquid derived from coconut oil used as a foamer and cleanser. It exhibits gentle cleansing, highly substantive skin conditioning, and effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate has excellent water solubility and a pH range of 6.5 – 7.5. It is used in many personal care applications, including baby care products, sensitive skin cleansers, and bio-deodorants.
Combined with lauryl sulfates, Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate reveals a robust synergistic interaction between its cationic nature and the anionic sulfate, creating regions of varying solution characteristics. It forms a complex with sulfate that breaks on contact with the skin or hair, and the substantive nature of Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate dominates while the sulfate is removed by rinsing.
