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. It is cold-processable and enables clear formulations.

Thanks to its enhanced antimicrobial properties, Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is used in anti-acne treatments, feminine wash products, baby wipes, antiseptic liquid soaps, and hand cleansers. It is also used in many make-up removers, shower and bath gels, facial cleansers, and anti-dandruff shampoos.

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.
