Cleaning and Personal Care
Potassium cocoate is a natural surfactant that can be used to clean and loosen dirt and grease on various surfaces. It's also used to make bubble bath, soaps and other personal care products. The chemical completely replaces the need for chemicals in these applications, which explains why it's been gaining popularity and why it's so easy to find online.
How we use it
We use potassium cocoate in our products: hand sanitizer, dish soap, and laundry soap. This ingredient is a natural thickener and co-emulsifier that provides the well-rounded consistency of our surfactants and dispersants to produce a high quality product that is effective in controlling germs.
