Potassium Cocoate is the potassium salt of the coconut fatty acid. It's often called 'potassium soap,' as soap is the sodium salt of the coconut fatty acid. It is derived from 100% natural coconut oil and potassium hydroxide and consists of a mixture of fatty acids. 

Potassium Cocoate has excellent foaming and cleansing properties. It is used widely in shampoos, scrubs, and liquid soaps as a surfactant and emulsifying agent. It's a relatively mild surfactant and can give a soft touch, so it's commonly used as a primary surfactant(base) in natural shampoo, body lotion, and liquid laundry detergent.

Yeser Chemicals is a world-leading manufacturer of Potassium Cocoate, with a 100,000 MT annual output capacity. We produce two types of Potassium Cocoate, with glycerin or glycerin-free.
