Sucrose Cocoate
Sucrose cocoate is an ester formed from sucrose (sugar) and coconut fatty acids. It acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water components in a formulation, and also as an emollient, providing a softening and smoothing effect on the skin. It is often used in gentle cleansing products due to its mild nature.

BenefitModerate 1.5 / 4
Hydration i0.8 / 4
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
Soothing i0.7 / 4
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
Texture i0.5 / 4
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
