SCI Powder – I know you all love this stuff!

It is back so happy shopping!

If you aren’t familiar with the very sought after SCI Powder, here is some info on it. Maybe it’ll become your new favorite ingredient.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder is a highly active anionic foaming agent that can be used for skincare, foaming bath salts, foaming bath bombs, shampoos, liquid soaps, dish soap powders, carpet cleaners, powdered cleansers, and more. SCI powder is coconut/palm derived, 1,4 Dioxane free, preservative free, highly active, with excellent emulsification properties, high foaming, and low dusting. Adding SCI powder to your soap bars/liquid soaps will help to decrease the soap film left by ordinary soaps. SCI powder imparts a creamy lather that gently cleans and leaves the skin with a soft, silky feel. This surfactant is 85% or higher in active level surfactants.

SCI powder exhibits excellent lathering properties and is very mild on the skin. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is excellent for use in clear or pearlescent skincare products such as liquid soaps, shampoos, shower gels, face washes, shampoo, and soap bars.

Formulating tips:

For liquid formulations add at 25°C–45°C water with moderate mixing to disperse and dissolve. If you add too hot of water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate may form particles that take a while to dissolve, so watch your water temperature.

Recommended levels in wash off products – 2–50%

Recommended levels in leave-on products – 0.5–1%

Can be used as is in dry products.

Bulk Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder is sold in 1-pound, 5-pound, and 44-pound sizes. For orders over 250 pounds please email us directly.
