Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a mild, coconut-derived surfactant and one of the most popular cleansing actives in natural and solid cosmetic formulations. Known for producing an exceptionally rich, creamy lather that leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized rather than stripped, SCI is the go-to ingredient for solid shampoo bars, conditioning cleansing bars, and gentle body cleansers. Derived from coconut fatty acids and isethionic acid, it is biodegradable, skin-friendly, and suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
