How to Use AccessPON COCO-35 in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessPON COCO-35

AccessPON COCO-35 is a natural liquid soap made from coconut oil. In simple terms, it’s a cleansing ingredient (a surfactant) that lifts away dirt and oil while creating a rich, creamy foam that rinses clean without residue. It’s ideal for creating clear, effective liquid hand soaps, body washes, and shampoos that feel luxurious and leave skin fresh.

For formulators, AccessPON COCO-35 is Potassium Cocoate, an anionic surfactant produced via saponification of coconut oil fatty acids. Its negative charge contributes to strong detergency and dense, stable lather with a pleasant, cushiony foam quality. It excels in neutral-to-alkaline systems, maintains excellent clarity, and provides an effective sulfate-free foundation for modern cleansing formulas.

Formulation Tips

Use 5–15% when AccessPON COCO-35 is a co-surfactant to boost foam and cleansing. Use 15–25% when it’s your primary cleansing agent (e.g., liquid hand soaps).

Add AccessPON COCO-35 to the water phase. It performs best at neutral to alkaline pH (≥7). In acidic systems, soaps can lose effectiveness and may cause cloudiness—so keep pH neutral or higher for optimal clarity and performance.

For milder, more stable systems, blend with non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants to enhance foam creaminess, improve rinse feel, and maintain clarity in transparent products. It’s a strong choice for sulfate-free cleansing systems where sensory quality is critical.

Key Performance Benefits:

  • Natural & Biodegradable: Derived from coconut oil and fully biodegradable for eco-conscious formulations.
  • Rich & Stable Lather: Produces dense, creamy foam that elevates the sensory experience.
  • Effective Cleansing without Residue: Rinses cleanly, leaving skin and hair fresh with no filmy after-feel.
  • Excellent for Transparent Products: Maintains clarity in neutral-to-alkaline systems for crystal-clear gels and washes.
  • Sulfate-Free Solution: Delivers high performance in sulfate-free cleansing systems.
  • Improved Sensory Feel: Helps reduce the “soapy” or tacky after-feel common with some surfactants.
  • Non-Discoloring: Supports bright, color-stable formulations over time.
