Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen
Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a peptide-based surfactant formed by coupling coconut fatty acids with hydrolyzed collagen. Cleansers and shampoos use it for gentle wash-off, cushiony lather, and a conditioned, supple after-feel.

Our take
Is Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen a Good Ingredient?
A collagen‑derived, conditioning surfactant that tends to cleanse gently and leave a soft after‑feel, supported by in‑use performance data. It falls short of “Great” due to limited independent clinical evidence beyond mildness; very sensitive users could still experience irritation. That mix of usefulness and tolerability lands it a Good rating rather than Great.

Before you use it
