Product description

Sodium coco sulfate (often abbreviated as SCS) is an anionic surfactant derived from fatty alcohols from coconut oil. Technologically, it is produced by first obtaining fatty alcohols from coconut oil, then sulfating them (attachment of a sulfate group) and then neutralizing them to the sodium salt. The result is a surface‑active substance with strong cleansing performance and good foaming, particularly suitable for rinse‑off products.
This version is in granulated form – granules are generally easier to dose, create less dust and in practice improve work comfort when manufacturing solid or free‑flowing formulations (e.g. solid shampoos, bath powders). When dissolving in water, longer stirring and time for complete wetting of the granules may be required.

Key benefits

  • Strong cleansing performance – suitable where the product is expected to have “real washing power”.
  • Rich foam – supports intense foaming in rinse‑off formulations.
  • Granulated form – more practical dosing, generally lower dustiness compared to fine powder.
  • Suitable for solid and powdered products – granules are easier to incorporate into the blend than a light powder.
  • Performs well in surfactant blends – allows fine‑tuning of foam and mildness by combining with other surfactants.

Suitable for products such as

  • Solid shampoos and solid cleansing bars
  • Shower products (solid and liquid, depending on the chosen system)
  • Bath powders and powdered cleansing blends
  • Rinse‑off scrubs with a surfactant base
  • Cleansing pastes and thicker rinse‑off formulations

Use in formulation

  • Water‑soluble – in granulated form it is recommended to allow more time for wetting and dissolution; gradual sprinkling into the agitated aqueous phase helps.
  • Miscible with other surfactants – for a milder profile it is often combined with amphoteric surfactants (e.g. betaines) and/or non‑ionic surfactants (e.g. glucosides).
  • Compatible with common humectants (e.g. glycerin) – they can improve the after‑wash feel.
  • Practical tip for granules: if you are making a solid shampoo, granules usually “anchor” better in the mixture; if you are making a liquid product, use adequate mixing to prevent clumping.

Safety and storage

  • When handling, avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and minimize inhalation of particles.
  • Although granules usually create less dust than powder, when transferring work in a clean, ventilated area and use appropriate protective equipment.
  • Store in a tightly closed container, in a dry place, protected from moisture; granules that have absorbed moisture may form lumps and be more difficult to dose.

Why choose the granulated form instead of the powder form?

Granules are usually dosed more accurately and tend to “fly around” less in the air during work. In practice this improves production comfort, especially with powdered and solid formulations.


Is SCS suitable for formulations for sensitive skin?

It is a powerful anionic surfactant, so sensitivity is usually addressed more through the entire surfactant system (combinations, humectants, pH) than through the raw material itself. For sensitive skin always test the final product.


Does the granulated form affect foaming or performance?

Functionally it is the same type of surfactant; the difference lies mainly in processing. In liquid products there may be a difference in how quickly the raw material dissolves, not in the actual foaming once fully dissolved.


What should you pay attention to when storing SCS granules?

Moisture is key. If the granules become damp, they can form lumps and are more difficult to dose. Always use a well‑sealed container and dry tools.

Scent: Sodium Coco Sulfát (SCS) 250 g

Foams well but needs to be mixed with other things to soften it. Otherwise it's pretty harsh on the scalp. For the body it's totally okay.

I appreciate that it comes in powder form (or rather small beads), great as far as I'm concerned, satisfied
