"Magnesium..." refers to a magnesium salt. "Cocoate" means a salt/ester of coconut fatty acids.
Magnesium cocoate, the magnesium salt of coconut fatty acid, is used in cosmetic formulations. Magnesium cocoate acts as emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together), surfactant (washing-active substance) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products). Furthermore, as an anti-caking agent, the substance prevents the caking of powdery cosmetic products.
