So
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
A mild foaming cleanser that rinses clean without residue. Common in Japanese and Korean face washes.
What it does
It’s a mild cleanser, much like sodium cocoyl isethionate. It makes a soft lather, rinses clean and works across a wide pH range. That’s why many Japanese and Korean foam washes use it: they need to rinse off fully and leave nothing behind.
