Cocoic acid is a surfactant or detergent. It is often found in laundry and dishwashing products, soaps, facial cleansers, shampoos, deodorants, body washes and other products. Use coconut acid as a cleanser. Surfactants are usually alkaline, and by lowering the pH using coconut fatty acids, the product will be less foamy. This makes it easier to rinse away surfactants, stains and dirt while still providing a high level of cleaning power. Cosmetic Ingredient Reviews considers coconut acid safe for use in cosmetics.
