About Potassium Cocoate

Potassium cocoate is the potassium salt of coconut acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary according to the components forming the salt and the acidity of the formulation, which also affects how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so that raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
