Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI 80) Needles

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI 80) Needles is a mild, anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is widely used in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. Known for its ability to create a rich, creamy lather, it offers excellent cleansing properties without stripping the skin of its natural oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations. SCI 80 comes in needle-like flakes or granules, offering ease of use in formulating solid and liquid cleansing products.

Application:

• Personal Care Products: Primarily used in shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, syndet bars, and baby cleansers due to its mildness and ability to form a dense, luxurious foam.
• Sensitive Skin Products: SCI is highly valued for sensitive skin formulations as it cleanses without irritation and maintains the skin’s moisture balance.
• Hair Care: Often included in sulfate-free shampoos for its mildness and ability to leave hair feeling soft and conditioned.

Handling:

• Personal Protection: Use gloves, goggles, and appropriate protective clothing to avoid skin and eye contact. Ensure proper ventilation to minimize inhalation of dust.
• Avoid Exposure: Handle in a low-humidity environment to avoid clumping. Avoid generating dust as it can become an inhalation hazard.
• Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in the work area.

Storage:

• Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent exposure to humidity.
• Temperature: Recommended storage temperature below 30°C (86°F).
• Shelf Life: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate remains stable under recommended storage conditions. Prolonged exposure to air and moisture can lead to clumping and decreased efficacy.
