Product Description

SCI Noodles and Powder are highly active anionic foaming agents that can be used in foaming bath salts, foaming bath bombs, shampoos, liquid soaps, dish soap powders, carpet cleaners, and powdered cleansers and more. Derived from coconut/palm oil, these products are 1,4 Dioxane free, preservative free, and highly active.

They offer excellent emulsification properties, high foaming capacity, and low dusting. Adding SCI to your soap formulations helps decrease the soap film left by ordinary soaps, imparting a creamy lather that gently cleans and leaves the skin with a soft, silky feel. This surfactant maintains an active level of 85% or higher.

Our premium-grade Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) revolutionizes gentle cleansing formulations. Renowned for its exceptional mildness and creamy lather, it is ideal for sulfate-free, skin-friendly products.

✔ Ultra-mild cleansing suitable for sensitive skin

✔ Rich, stable foam with excellent detergency

✔ Enhances skin moisture retention post-cleansing

✔ Ideal pH balance (5.5-6.5) matching skin's natural acidity
