SCI Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate surfactant for solid shampoos and gentle cleansing cosmetics

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, commonly known as SCI, is a mild anionic surfactant widely used in modern cleansing cosmetics, solid shampoos, facial cleansers and SPA inspired beauty products. The ingredient is especially valued for its gentle cleansing performance, creamy foam texture and softer skin feel compared to many traditional surfactant systems.

Derived from coconut fatty acids, SCI has become highly popular in sulfate free formulations designed for sensitive skin, daily cleansing products and modern hair care systems. The ingredient is extensively used in premium cleansing concepts where mild sensory performance and comfortable afterfeel are important for product positioning.

Recipe

SCI 35 g
Cocamidopropyl Betaine 20 ml
Coconut Oil 10 ml
Jojoba Oil 5 ml
Panthenol 2 ml
White Clay 10 g
Purified Water 15 ml
Preservative 0.8 ml

Blend the SCI with cocamidopropyl betaine and purified water until a smooth pliable base forms. Slowly incorporate the oils, white clay and panthenol while mixing continuously. Add the preservative once the texture becomes uniform.

The finished formulation develops a dense moldable texture suitable for shaping into a solid cleansing product. When activated with water, the product creates a soft creamy foam that spreads comfortably across the skin and hair.

The final product is a modern gentle cleansing bar for scalp and hair care with delicate cleansing performance and a comfortable SPA inspired sensory effect.
