Description
SMCT Technical Datasheet (Coconut-Derived)
INCI Name Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
CAS Number 12765-39-8 / 61791-42-2
Active Content 30% (Liquid) / 90% (Powder)
pH Value (5%) 7.0 - 8.5
Color (Gardner) ≤ 2.0
Solubility Excellent cold water solubility
Instant Flash Foam

SMCT is engineered for speed. It generates a high volume of large, airy bubbles almost instantly upon agitation. This makes it the preferred choice for consumer-favorite "big bubble" facial washes and refreshing body gels.

Zero-Cloud Clarity

Exceptional cold-water solubility ensures that your formulas remain crystal clear even at low temperatures. It effectively prevents the "pearlescent clouding" common in other amino acid surfactants, perfect for minimalist aesthetic designs.

Precision Formulation Strategy

Optimizing transparency and viscosity with SMCT

A
Cold Water Processable

Unlike SMLT which prefers warm dissolution, SMCT exhibits rapid cold-water hydration. This makes it ideal for energy-efficient cold processing in liquid formulas, significantly reducing production cycle times.

B
Extended pH Stability

Remains chemically stable across a pH range of 4.5 to 8.5. It does not hydrolyze in acidic environments, ensuring that anti-acne cleansers (containing Salicylic Acid) maintain their foaming power over their shelf life.

C
Synergistic Thickening

SMCT works in harmony with non-ionic polymers and amphoterics. When used as a secondary surfactant (2% - 5%), it acts as a rheology modifier, helping to stabilize dense pearlescent systems without causing sedimentation.

Q: When should I choose SMCT over SMLT?

Choose SMCT if your goal is instant flash foam and a refreshing "squeaky clean" feel (perfect for oil-control cleansers). Choose SMLT if you want a creamy, dense lather and the ultimate "mildness" for very dry or damaged skin.

Q: Can SMCT be used in "Tear-Free" formulas?

Yes, it is exceptionally gentle to the eyes. For the best result, combine it with Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) to build a robust but non-irritating surfactant system, and add Allantoin to further soothe the skin barrier.
