Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) is the gold standard for mild, sulfate-free cleansing, making it a top choice for syndet (synthetic detergent) shampoo bars. Derived from coconut oil, SCI is a gentle surfactant that provides rich, luxurious foam without stripping hair of its natural moisture. It’s often called “Baby Foam” because of its ultra-mild nature, making it ideal for sensitive scalps and color-treated hair.
In shampoo bars, SCI creates creamy, dense lather that leaves hair soft, clean, and manageable without the harshness of traditional sulfates. It’s particularly great for curly, dry, or delicate hair types, as it helps to cleanse without over-drying. Plus, it’s biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a sustainable choice for solid hair care products.
