Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (SMCT) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- SMCT
- Sodium Cocoyl Methyl Taurate
- Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate supplier for personal-care formulators in Malaysia. Also called SMCT, sodium cocoyl methyl taurate and methyl cocoyl taurate, this N-acyl taurate is a mild anionic surfactant used for cleansing and foam development in rinse-off formulations.
Commercial supply covers free-flowing powder or granule grades, paste concentrates and aqueous solutions, each specified by active matter rather than by a single fixed strength. Form and assay should be stated clearly, because powder, paste and solution grades are not interchangeable on a production line.
Facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, syndet bars, baby-care rinses and selected oral-care systems are the main uses. This page covers the cocoyl member only; sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, sodium lauroyl methyl taurate and other N-acyl taurates are separate materials and should be ordered under their own names.
Send the required form or grade, active-matter target, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- personal care, powder, paste, solution

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal-care SMCT powder | free-flowing powder or granule | active matter confirmed against the required grade | Mild rinse-off personal-care systems and dry or solid cleanser bases where a high-active solid sodium methyl cocoyl taurate charge is preferred. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Personal-care SMCT paste | viscous paste or high-active concentrate | active matter confirmed against the enquiry | Facial cleansers, body washes and syndet systems that need a higher active loading than a standard solution without full dry-powder handling. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Personal-care SMCT aqueous solution | clear to pale aqueous liquid | active matter confirmed against the enquiry | Shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers and other liquid rinse-off products where a pumpable sodium methyl cocoyl taurate grade suits the process. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
Are SMCT and sodium cocoyl methyl taurate the same product?
Yes. SMCT is the common abbreviation for sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, also written sodium cocoyl methyl taurate and methyl cocoyl taurate. State the form and active matter in the enquiry, because powder, paste and solution grades are not interchangeable on a production line.
Is sodium methyl cocoyl taurate the same as sodium methyl oleoyl taurate?
No. Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is the cocoyl member of the N-acyl taurate family. Sodium methyl oleoyl taurate and sodium lauroyl methyl taurate are different fatty-acyl members and should be ordered under their own names and specifications, not as grades of this page.
How does SMCT differ from SLS, SLES and CAPB?
SMCT is an N-acyl taurate anionic surfactant. SLS and SLES are sulphate anionics, and CAPB is an amphoteric co-surfactant. Each has its own identity and performance profile, so order against the exact INCI name and assay on the formulation sheet rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Should I request powder, paste or solution SMCT?
Powder or granule grades suit high-active solid charging and some syndet or dry-blend processes. Paste concentrates suit higher active loading without full powder handling. Aqueous solutions suit pumpable liquid cleansers. Describe the process and target active matter so the suitable form can be quoted.
What specifications should a buyer provide for sodium methyl cocoyl taurate?
State the form, target active matter, appearance or colour limits if fixed, and the intended rinse-off application. If a current raw-material sheet exists, include those limits so the quoted personal-care grade can be matched more closely.
What details are needed for an SMCT price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, active-matter target, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any product documents required so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
