Description

SCI also referred to as Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate or baby foam, is a specialty anionic powder surfactant made from all vegetable, and biodegradable resources, primarily coconut.  SCI is an extremely gentle surfactant used to impart extra mildness, good after feel, and good foaming in many personal care and cleansing products. It is mild enough for baby cleansers, personal hygiene, and toiletries while still offering very efficient cleansing and low odor.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)) is a very pure surfactant with a active surfactant matter of up to 85%, making it an economical choice because the usage rate is low. SCI delivers excellent luxurious foam while leaving a very nice silky feeling on the skin.  Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate  does not dry the skin, or hair, making it an excellent choice for the formulation of all cleansers. One of the most popular choices for shampoo / body bars due to its high performance in soft or hard water.

Even with the care required to dissolve BabyFoam (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)), it is still well worth it because no other surfactant delivers on gentleness and silky feel like BabyFoam . It is best to use a combination of surfactants to aid in the solubility of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI).

Please be aware that there are versions of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate which are pre-blended with other ingredients, during the manufacturing step, and these are very different from our pure version of BabyFoam (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)).
