Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) is a mild anionic surfactant commonly used in solid and powdered cleansing formulations. It produces a rich, creamy lather and is especially popular in syndet shampoo bars, facial cleansing bars, body wash bars, and other personal care products.

SCI is a concentrated surfactant that allows formulators to create effective cleansing products without relying on traditional soap. It works particularly well in solid formulations where good foaming, cleansing performance, and a pleasant after-feel are desired.

INCI: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Appearance: White to off-white powder

Common Uses: Shampoo bars, syndet bars, facial cleansing bars, body wash bars, powdered cleansers, and other personal care cleansing formulations

Function: Anionic surfactant, cleansing agent, and foam producer

Solubility: Dispersible in water; limited water solubility

Typical Usage Rate: Usage varies considerably depending on the product type and formulation.

Formulation Tip: SCI can create airborne dust during handling. Incorporate it carefully and use appropriate respiratory and eye protection when working with the concentrated raw material. In solid cleansing formulations, SCI is commonly combined with other surfactants and liquid ingredients to create a workable mixture.
