Coconut Fatty Acid

Coconut Fatty Acid is a versatile, plant-based ingredient derived from the hydrolysis of coconut oil (Cocos nucifera). Rich in medium-chain fatty acids—especially lauric, myristic, and palmitic—it serves as a foundational raw material across personal care, cleaning, industrial, and specialty applications. With its excellent surfactant properties and renewable origin, this fatty acid blend supports both performance and sustainability goals.
