Applications

The versatility of sodium cocoyl isethionate extends to various personal care formulations:

Shower Gels: In bath products, sodium cocoyl isethionate adjusts the pH balance, mitigating post-wash dryness and imparting a moisturizing, soft feel. It rinses off easily, enhancing the user experience.
Shampoos: Sodium cocoyl isethionate reduces residue from alkyl ether sulfates (AES) on hair, preventing dandruff and hair loss, making it an essential ingredient in shampoos.
Soaps: When combined with fillers, pigments, fragrances, or soap bases, sodium cocoyl isethionate produces moisturizing soaps, offering both cleansing and skin benefits.
Facial Cleansers: As a self-emulsifier, sodium cocoyl isethionate creates fine, rich foam in facial cleansers, leaving skin soft, smooth, and silky post-wash.

Packaging and Storage

Packaging Options: Typically packaged in 25 kg fiber drums or 500 kg super bags.
Storage Conditions: Stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and sources of heat and free from exposure to acids or alkaline substances, which could compromise its chemical integrity.
