Used primarily as a mild anionic surfactant in personal care products, especially in facial cleansers, shampoos, and baby care items due to its excellent foaming and cleansing properties with low skin and eye irritation. It is valued in sulfate-free and natural formulations for being derived from coconut oil and amino acids, offering a gentle cleansing experience suitable for sensitive skin. Also enhances product texture by stabilizing foam and improving spreadability. Commonly found in eco-friendly and dermatologically tested products where mildness and biodegradability are key requirements.
