SODIUM COCOYL ISETHIONATE GRANULES

Bulk Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Granular for Cosmetics

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Granular is a mild, coconut-derived surfactant widely used in solid shampoo bars, shower gels and facial cleansers. This guide covers what it is, how it is obtained, its properties for skin and hair, and the main cosmetic applications of this granular ingredient, designed to simplify dosing and handling in industrial production.

What Is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Granular?

It is an anionic surfactant obtained from coconut oil combined with isethionic acid, resulting in a gentle, low-irritation cleansing molecule. Its granular form, rather than flakes or paste, makes weighing, precise dosing and even incorporation into hot-phase manufacturing of solid bars and gels much easier.

Technically, it stands out for its moderate foaming capacity and compatibility with sensitive skin, since it preserves the skin's hydrolipidic barrier better than many conventional sulfate-based surfactants.

Main Cosmetic Uses of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Granular

Solid shampoo bars. It is one of the most widely used base surfactants in solid shampoo formulation, providing effective scalp cleansing without leaving hair dry or frizzy after rinsing.

Gentle facial cleansers. It is incorporated into facial cleansing bars thanks to its low eye and skin irritation profile, suitable for reactive or sensitized skin types.

Solid shower gels and syndet bars. It works as the primary surfactant in syndet formulations, partially or fully replacing traditional soap to achieve a creamier, more stable lather.

Baby care and delicate-skin formulations. Its mildness makes it suitable for infant hygiene lines and dermocosmetic products, where minimizing dryness or irritation with continued use is a priority.
