SCI Powder CH011

SCI Powder stands for Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, a mild and biodegradable surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is commonly used in the formulation of personal care and cosmetic products due to its gentle cleansing and foaming properties.

Key Properties and Uses of SCI Powder:

1. Surfactant: SCI is a surfactant, meaning it helps reduce the surface tension of water, allowing for better spreading and cleansing action. It is often used in facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and soaps.

2. Mild Cleansing: Unlike harsh surfactants (like sulfates), SCI is much gentler on the skin and hair, making it ideal for sensitive skin or scalp formulations.

3. Foaming Agent: SCI helps create a rich, creamy foam that is often desired in cosmetic and personal care products, providing a luxurious feel without being irritating.

4. Biodegradable: As a natural and biodegradable surfactant, SCI is an eco-friendly alternative to harsher synthetic surfactants.

5. Non-Irritating: SCI is less likely to cause skin or eye irritation, which is why it is preferred for products designed for sensitive individuals, such as babies or those with allergies.

6. Applications:

   • Shampoos: It helps cleanse the hair while leaving it soft and shiny.
   • Body Washes and Face Cleansers: Due to its mildness, SCI is often included in formulations for products that are used on delicate skin.
   • Shower Gels, Soaps, and Bubble Baths: It contributes to the luxurious, bubbly texture of these products.

SCI powder is typically used by cosmetic manufacturers as a key ingredient in their formulations. It is usually processed into a paste or liquid when incorporated into the final product.
