How to Use AccessMILD CG30 in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessMILD CG30

AccessMILD CG30 is a gentle, amino acid-based surfactant designed to cleanse effectively while being kind to skin and hair. If you’ve ever used a cleanser that left your skin feeling tight or your hair squeaky and dry, this is the opposite experience—AccessMILD CG30 creates a creamy lather that rinses clean without stripping natural moisture, making it ideal for sensitive, dry, or irritation-prone skin.

From a technical perspective, AccessMILD CG30 is Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, an anionic acyl-glutamate surfactant typically supplied at about 30% active matter. It is readily biodegradable and derived from coconut fatty acids and glutamic acid. It offers excellent foam quality (dense, creamy, and stable) and can be used as either a primary surfactant in ultra-mild systems or as a co-surfactant to soften the feel and reduce the irritation potential of stronger anionics.

Formulation Tips

Use AccessMILD CG30 at 3–10% as a co-surfactant to boost mildness and foam, or at 10–20% as a primary surfactant in gentle facial cleansers, shampoos, and baby-friendly products. Add to the water phase and mix until uniform. It is compatible with many common surfactants (e.g., amphoterics and glucosides) and helps reduce the irritation potential of harsher anionics.

For best skin compatibility and performance, adjust the final product pH to approximately 5.0–6.5. Because the raw material can be alkaline as supplied, you may need to lower the pH during cool-down with a suitable acid (e.g., citric acid solution) to reach a skin-friendly range.
