Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder is a gentle, high-performance surfactant made from renewable coconut derived fatty acids, prized for its ability to produce a rich, creamy lather while being exceptionally mild on skin and hair. Widely loved in solid shampoo bars, facial cleansers, body washes, and syndet bars, SCI Powder is valued for its ability to cleanse effectively without stripping away moisture, leaving behind a smooth, conditioned finish. Its fine powder form makes it versatile and easy to incorporate into a variety of personal care formulations, providing excellent foaming, creamy texture, and a gentle touch that works beautifully even for sensitive skin. This makes SCI Powder an industry favorite for formulators creating high-performance, sulfate-free products that balance mildness with an indulgent sensory experience.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder can be blended into a wide range of personal care formulations such as shampoo bars, syndet bars, facial cleansers, and body washes. It is typically melted slowly into the heated phase with other surfactants or combined with liquids to create a smooth paste before incorporation. Recommended usage rates are generally up to 50% in solid formulations and 2–10% in liquid products, depending on the desired level of cleansing and foaming.

Awesome Stuff!

Loved the SLSA I got from Voyageur and decided I HAD to try their SCI - I was not disappointed! High quality product and a fair price. I'm happy I am able to do business with Voyageur, I'm in the US and so far this is the best SCI I've found anywhere. I don't like noodles. I use this in sulphate-free shampoo bars and it works great.

Good quality & Price...

Love using the SCI powder. It's my number one choice when I want smooth shampoo bars that melt fast or when I want M&P soap bars to have a lot of suds. Always use with mask and gloves though.

Excellwent product

My customers are loving the shampoo bars I make with this ingredient. No melting of prills or noodles, so super easy to use. Make sure you wear a mask as it is easily airborne. Would love to know how to incorporate into soaps!
