Elevate your cleansers with the "Baby Foam" standard.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate 85% (SCI) is a high-performance, coconut-derived anionic surfactant renowned for its exceptional mildness and luxurious, creamy lather. This high-concentration (85% active matter) powder is the gold standard for creating premium sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, and, in particular, solid "syndet" (synthetic detergent) bars that leave skin feeling silky, not stripped.
Key Benefits
Exceptionally Gentle: Known as "Baby Foam," it is ideal for sensitive skin, facial cleansers, and baby products due to its low irritation profile.
Sulfate-Free & Coconut Derived: A natural, biodegradable alternative to harsh surfactants like SLS/SLES, derived from renewable coconut fatty acids.
Luxurious Lather: Produces a dense, stable, and creamy foam, even in hard water.
Moisturizing After-Feel: Unlike soap, SCI cleanses without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier, leaving skin and hair feeling conditioned.
High Purity (85%): Concentrated powder form ensures efficiency and versatility in formulation.
