Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS)

Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS) Sodium Coco Sulfate, abbreviated SCS , is an anionic surfactant that serves as the primary cleansing ingredient in shampoos, shower gels and bath preparations. It cleans well and, according to the manufacturer, forms a creamy, stable lather, making it suitable to carry a formula as the primary surfactant without an additional strong cleansing surfactant. It is produced from fatty alcohols of coconut and palm kernel oil and holds COSMOS and NATRUE approval. In formulations it replaces Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and the ethoxylated Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). No ethylene oxide is used in production, so the ingredient meets the requirements of concepts free from SLES, EO-free and 1,4-dioxane-free . It is supplied as granules that flow freely and dose accurately, which manufacturers appreciate especially in solid shampoos, shower bars and powder formulations. Key benefits Cleansing performance and lather – according to manufacturer data it has strong cleansing efficacy and forms a creamy, stable lather, making it suitable as a primary surfactant. Renewable origin – the ingredient contains 100% renewable carbon , contains no preservatives, antioxidants or solvents and is suitable for formulations with natural-origin ingredient claims. Salt thickening – liquid products with SCS can be thickened with common salt (NaCl), without special thickeners. Solid and liquid formats – the granules suit solid shampoos and shower bars for zero-waste concepts and can equally be dissolved into liquid preparations. Readily biodegradable – meets OECD 301 criteria and
