Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) is a gentle, coconut-derived surfactant known for its creamy, luxurious lather and excellent cleansing properties without stripping the skin or hair. These mild SCI flakes are ideal for creating sulphate-free, pH-balanced cleansers, solid shampoo bars, facial cleansing bars, body washes, and bath products.
Often referred to as “baby foam,” SCI is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin. It leaves skin feeling soft and smooth while helping to remove dirt and excess oil effectively. Its biodegradability and mildness make it a favourite in natural and eco-conscious formulations.
Benefits:
- Sulphate-free, gentle cleansing surfactant
- Produces a rich, creamy lather
- Mild enough for facial and baby care products
- Ideal for solid and liquid formulations
- Derived from renewable coconut oil
How to Use:
SCI flakes can be melted into the heated phase or gently dispersed in water, typically combined with other surfactants for balanced cleansing. Ideal usage ranges from 3–60%, depending on the desired end product. Avoid inhalation of the dry powder or flakes.
Storage:
Store in a dry, cool place in an airtight container.
