What is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate?

 

Sodium cocoyl isethionate powder(SCI) is a mild, foaming and excellent anionic surfactant with excellent foam stability. It is commonly used in personal care products, such as facial cleanser, shampoo, and soap.


1. Chemical Name: Sodium Cocoyl Hydroxyethyl Sulfonate


2. Molecular formula: CnH2n+1CO-O-CH2CH2-SO3Na (n=8-18)


3. Key parameters:

  • CMC value: 0.08-0.12g/L (25℃)
  • Foaming power: Initial foam height measured by Ross-Miles method ≥ 160mm
  • Biodegradability: 98.7% degradation rate within 28 days (OECD 301B standard)

 

sodium cocoyl isethionate uses:

 

1. Microecological cleansing

  • Formula technology: Equipped with prebiotics (α-glucan oligosaccharide).
  • Effect: Skin flora diversity index increased by 2.3 times.


2. Cleanser for astronauts

  • Space verification: Foam stability reaches 98% in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS).
  • Anti-radiation design: Sodium cocoyl isethionate SCI powder can improve the free radical scavenging rate.


3. Medical-grade post-operative care

  • Safety: Passed ISO 10993 medical device biocompatibility certification.
  • Repair function: Promote epithelial cell migration rate (↑29%).

 

Use with other products

 

1. Synergistic combination:

  • Lock water (saccharide isomers): hydration duration extended to 8 hours
  • Nano zinc oxide: sun protection SPF value synergistically increased to 35


2. Taboo combinations:

  • High-concentration cationic surfactants: SCI Sodium cocoyl isethionate will produce precipitation (turbidity>100NTU)
  • Strongly acidic environment (pH<4): releases free fatty acids causing irritation
