Product description

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) is a mild anionic tenside produced from coconut oil fatty acids and isethionic acid. It is known for its high foaming power, excellent cleansing ability and exceptional gentleness to the skin. Its structure makes it gentler than conventional sulfate tensides, it does not dry out the skin and it produces a creamy, thick foam, making it an ideal ingredient for solid and liquid cleansing products.

Key benefits:

• Gentle on skin and hair, also suitable for sensitive skin.

• Creates a rich, creamy lather with a luxurious feel.

• Excellent cleansing properties without drying.

• Vegetable origin - derived from coconut oil.

• Biodegradable, suitable for sustainable cosmetics.

Suitable for products such as:

• Solid shampoos and hair cubes.

• Shower gels and solid shower products.

• Gentle facial cleansing foams.

• Syndet soaps (without soap base).

• Children's and sensitive cleansing products.

Use in formulation:

• Solubility: insoluble in water, well workable in mixtures with other tensides.

• Recommended dosage: 5-60% depending on the type of product (lower dosages for facial foams, higher for solid shampoos).

• Incorporation: added to the tenside phase, usually together with other surfactants; heating is necessary to disperse it evenly.

• Maximum processing temperature: up to approx. 80 °C (it is recommended to process at a lower temperature with sufficient agitation).

• ASM (Active Surfactant Matter): high foaming and efficiency at relatively low ASM, typically around 10-15 % in finished products.

• Particle size: 0.25mm (<60 mesh - 250 microns - 99%)

• Rich lathering as well as cleaning abilities make it a necessary ingredient in the formulation of Strawberry Solid Shampoo. In the blog post with instructions you will find all the information about its use.
