Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate 85% is naturally sourced from coconut oils. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate 85% Powder is an anionic mild primary surfactant with a dense, luxurious foam. It is mild on the skin, and non-drying. Sodium cocoyl isethionate 85% powder can be combined with other surfactants to make an elegant creamy shampoo or luxurious body wash. It can be used as the only surfactant in a cream or solid bar cleanser. In both hair and skin care applications this surfactant creates an elegant feel during use and a conditioned after feel, especially in leave on products. Gentle cleaning without irritating the skin makes it a solid choice when targeting people with sensitive skin or even babies. Naturally sulfate-free.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a naturally-derived ingredient that comes from the fatty acids that are present in isethionic acid and coconut oil. These fatty acids are reacted with sodium isethionate and the mixture is heated to remove any water left behind. Further, the mixture is distilled to remove excess fatty acids.
