Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI POWDER)

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) is a mild, sulfate-free surfactant derived from coconut oil and isethionic acid. It is commonly used in personal care products as a cleansing agent that provides a rich, creamy lather while being gentle on the skin. SCI is highly favored in formulations due to its biodegradability, compatibility with sensitive skin, and ability to produce luxurious foam, even in hard water.

Applications:

• Personal Care Products: Used in solid and liquid soaps, shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and syndet bars (synthetic detergent bars). It is known for its skin-friendly properties and its ability to produce a rich, luxurious lather.
• Hair Care: Commonly used in shampoos and conditioners, especially for dry or sensitive scalps, due to its mildness and conditioning effects.
• Baby Care: Ideal for baby shampoos and soaps, as it is non-irritating and gentle on delicate skin.
• Other Uses: Can be found in shaving creams, toothpaste, and cleansing bars where mildness and effective cleansing are required.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Avoid inhalation of dust from the powder form. Ensure adequate ventilation when handling in bulk quantities. Use protective gloves, goggles, and a dust mask if necessary. Avoid contact with eyes, and wash skin thoroughly after handling.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Avoid exposure to high humidity as this can cause clumping. Prevent contamination by keeping it away from strong oxidizing agents.
