Methyl Cocoate is a methyl ester derived from coconut oil.
Methyl Cocoate is utilized as a surfactant in skin care products and cosmetics, used to that lower the surface tension of a formula and create easier spreadability.
Very little research is available for Methyl Cocoate, but coconut oil has long been used for its moisturizing and skin softening properties.
A surfactant derived from coconut oil enjoys the properties of this moisturizing natural oil while also serving to stabilize a cosmetic formula.
What Is Methyl Cocoate?
Coconut Oil, also called Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, is a pale-yellow, semisolid, edible oil. Coconut Acid is a mixture of fatty acids derived from Coconut Oil. Other ingredients made from Coconut Oil and/or Coconut Acid that may be used in cosmetics and personal care products include: Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Hydrogenated Coconut Acid, Coconut Alcohol, Butylene Glycol Cocoate, Caprylic/Capric/Coco Glycerides, Cocoglycerides, Coconut Oil Decyl Esters, Decyl Cocoate, Ethylhexyl Cocoate, Isodecyl Cocoate, Lauryl Cocoate, Methyl Cocoate, Octyldodecyl Cocoate, Pentaerythrityl Cocoate, Tridecyl Cocoate, Magnesium Cocoate, Potassium Cocoate, Sodium Cocoate, Ammonium Cocomonoglyceride Sulfate, Sodium Cocomonoglyceride Sulfate, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Potassium Hydrogenated Cocoate and Sodium Hydrogenated Cocoate.
Among these ingredients made from Coconut Oil and/or its fatty acids, Coconut Oil is the most frequently used in the formulation of cosmetic and personal care products.
Coconut Oil can be found in many categories of cosmetic and personal care products including bath products, eye makeup, hair care products, shaving creams, suntan products, skin care products and lipsticks.

WHAT IS Methyl Cocoate?
Sodium cocoate is a generic name for the mixture of fatty acid salts derived by reacting coconut oil with sodium hydroxide.
Package labels refer to sodium cocoate using the names coconut oil, fatty acids, coco and sodium salts.
Methyl Cocoate is a surfactant and emulsifying agent.
KEY INFORMATION
Along with sodium palmate, Sodium cocoate is a critical ingredient in soap making.
MORE INFORMATION
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permits Coconut Oil (Sodium cocoate) to be used as a direct food additive as a substitute for cocoa butter.
Coconut Oil, Coconut Acid and Coconut Alcohol are permitted for use as indirect food additives as defoaming agents in the manufacture of paper and paperboard used for food packaging.
Coconut oil is also listed as a substance Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in cotton and cotton fabrics used in dry food packaging.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that Coconut Oil and Coconut Acid and the other ingredients made from Coconut Oil and Coconut Acid were safe for use as cosmetic ingredients.
