Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate - Sample Size 20G

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Powder is a solid anionic surfactant used in shampoo bars, syndet bars, powder-to-foam cleansers, and other rinse-off cleansing systems. It is valued for its creamy lather, gentle skin feel, and clean rinsing performance, even in hard water. This powder format is highly versatile for solid and semi-solid cleanser making, but it should be handled carefully to reduce dust during processing.

It is a raw surfactant ingredient, not a finished cleanser. Why we love it: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Powder is one of the best workhorse surfactants for creamy, modern solid cleansers. It performs well, feels elegant in use, and gives formulators a lot of flexibility across shampoo, facial, and body-cleansing formats.
