Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI-85) is a mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids that produces abundant, creamy lather without sulphates. This white to off-white powder excels in solid cleansing formulations with excellent hard water tolerance and naturally acidic pH.

About Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

This coconut-derived surfactant represents the gold standard for gentle cleansing in premium formulations. Unlike traditional sulphates, SCI-85 maintains skin compatibility whilst delivering the rich, luxurious lather that consumers expect. Its naturally acidic nature helps achieve skin-friendly pH levels with minimal adjustment, making it particularly valuable for formulators creating balanced cleansing products.
