Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder 85 Grade – Mild Surfactant for Shampoo Bars, Face Cleansers & Personal Care Formulations

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder 85 Grade is a specialty cleansing ingredient used in personal care product manufacturing. Derived from coconut fatty acids and isethionate chemistry, SCI is widely used in syndet cleansing products because it can provide effective cleansing with a rich, creamy foam.

Its powdered form makes it useful for developing solid cleansing products, including shampoo bars, facial cleansing bars, body cleansing bars, and bath products. It can be combined with compatible surfactants, conditioning agents, emollients, and other cosmetic ingredients to create formulations with different textures and cleansing characteristics.

SCI is often selected by cosmetic formulators and handmade personal care product makers looking to develop solid cleansing products. The final performance depends on the supplied grade, formulation composition, processing conditions, and the concentration used.

For best results, consult the manufacturer’s Technical Data Sheet (TDS) to verify the active matter content, recommended usage level, processing method, and compatibility with other ingredients.
