How to Use AccessMILD PCGC-30S in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessMILD PCGC-30S

AccessMILD PCGC-30S is a gentle, high-performing surfactant blend designed for modern, sulfate-free cleansers. Think of a surfactant as the engine that lifts away dirt and oil while creating the foam people love. This blend combines Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate—an exceptionally mild, amino acid-based surfactant—with Potassium Cocoate, a coconut-derived soap that boosts cleansing and foam richness. Together, they deliver effective cleansing with a dense, creamy lather that feels luxurious yet remains kind to skin and hair.

For formulators, the amino-acid linkage in Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate contributes to low irritation potential and excellent skin compatibility, while Potassium Cocoate enhances foam volume and quick flash foam. The system is readily biodegradable and naturally derived, making it a strong fit for clean-label positioning across facial cleansers, body washes, and mild shampoos.

Formulation Tips

Use AccessMILD PCGC-30S at 5–30% depending on your target product. As a primary surfactant in shampoos or body washes, 10–20% is a practical starting point; for richer lather or deeper cleansing, you can increase toward 30%. When used as a secondary surfactant to improve mildness and foam quality, 5–10% is typically sufficient.

Add to the water phase. It performs well in slightly acidic to mildly alkaline systems; target a finished formula pH of about 6.0–8.0 to balance foam quality, stability, and skin comfort. For even greater mildness and foam creaminess, pair with amphoteric surfactants (e.g., Cocamidopropyl Betaine) or mild non-ionic co-surfactants. Salt curves and viscosity will depend on the full surfactant system and any thickeners used (e.g., CAPB synergy with electrolytes, cellulose gums, or acrylates).
