Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate 25 g

Why This Coconut-Derived Surfactant Works So Gently on Skin

Sodium cocoyl isethionate is a mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids, valued across the world for its exceptionally low irritation potential compared to many other cleansing agents. This makes it one of the most sought-after ingredients for facial cleansing bars, syndet bars, shampoo bars, and baby care formulations. The material belongs to the Surfactants category, which brings together cleansing and foaming components of varying strength and gentleness.

The leading global application for this ingredient is the production of solid syndet bars and gentle facial cleansers designed for sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin. Its low irritation profile has also made it a common choice for tearless baby formulas, after-shave products, and cleansers marketed toward reactive or compromised skin. On an industrial scale, manufacturers rely on it as the backbone of syndet soap bars, which feel similar to traditional soap but leave skin far less stripped thanks to a gentler cleansing mechanism.

On its own, this surfactant does not build rich lather easily, so formulators typically pair it with stronger foaming agents. A common combination partner is Surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 100 g, which boosts foam volume and stability in both solid and liquid formulas. To thicken the mixture and stabilize the lather, many recipes also include Cocamide MEA 30 g, while a softer almond-derived co-surfactant such as RESASSOL AGM 25 g is often added for extra mildness in the finished cleansing base.

Typical dosage ranges from 5 to 25 percent of the total solid base, depending on the desired firmness and foam character of the finished bar. One key feature to keep in mind is that this surfactant dissolves poorly in cold water, so in liquid formulations it is usually pre-dispersed in warm water around 60-70 degrees Celsius, while in solid bars it is introduced during the cooling stage of the fatty phase, once the mixture drops to roughly 45-50 degrees, to avoid degrading the active material through excessive heat.

Store the raw material in a dry place away from moisture, in a tightly sealed container, since it is hygroscopic and can clump when exposed to humid air. The 25 g package size is convenient for home cosmetic making and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test a recipe before scaling up to larger production runs.

Gentle Facial Cleansing Bar

Sodium cocoyl isethionate - 20 g

Stearic acid - 9 g

Glycerin - 11 g

Distilled water - 14 g

Sweet almond oil - 6 g

Melt the stearic acid and almond oil together in a water bath at around 60 degrees Celsius until fully combined. Separately mix the glycerin with water and pour it into the fatty phase, stirring continuously. Cool the mixture down to about 45 degrees before gradually adding the sodium cocoyl isethionate powder, mixing thoroughly until smooth and free of lumps. Pour the finished mass into a mold and allow it to set at room temperature for about 24 hours before removing and using the bar.
