Anionic surfactant of plant and synthetic origins derived from coconut oil fatty acids (esterified derivative of coconut oil fatty acids) and isethionic acid.

Solid, it comes in the form of white granules or powder. Once incorporated into a formula, it is gentle on the eyes and biodegradable. It has a pH of 4.5 to 6.0 in a 10% water solution. Soluble in water, insoluble in oil.

Harmful to aquatic organisms if dumped massively into a watercourse (no problem when integrated into a formula that respects the recommended concentrations).

INCI : Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Comparative table of surfactants

Properties: Gentle, very foaming cleanser. Leaves skin and hair soft.

Focus: From 5 to 60% (some suggest a maximum of 50%)

Uses: Liquid and solid shampoos

In its dry state, this product is very irritating to the respiratory tract. Go out into the fresh air, wear gloves, a MASK (powder with filter ideally) and glasses when handling. Once integrated into a formula, there is no longer any danger.

In complete transparency…

Long term, some people have reported scalp irritation. It is undoubtedly preferable to remain reasonable with quantities.

It is mainly its production that poses a problem. SCI is a product obtained by ethoxylation. Ethoxylated products are not dangerous, but the process is not very ecological (use of ethylene oxide, a reactive, toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic gas). SCI, more precisely, is obtained through a reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium isethionate, itself obtained from a reaction between sodium bisulfite and ethylene oxide. After purification, we normally do not find traces of ethylene oxide in the SCI, but it could be contaminated with dioxane (1,4-dioxane), an irritant substance suspected of being carcinogenic and derived from ethylene oxide (although this is rare). Additionally, ethoxylated products are not very biodegradable.

It is still rated 1 out of 10 (excellent) by EWG’s Skin which does not indicate any environmental toxicity.
