Sodium Isethionate is a high-purity sulfonate salt used as a primary intermediate for mild surfactants. It is typically found in powder or flake form with high solubility in water.

This Cosmetic Grade raw material is essential for the production of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI). It is highly valued for its mildness to skin and excellent lime-soap dispersing properties in hard water.

The product is chemically stable and contributes to the lathering performance of finished formulations. It is an indispensable ingredient for manufacturers focusing on sulfate-free and sensitive skin product lines.

Sodium Isethionate
  • Surfactant Intermediate: Primary raw material for producing “Baby-mild” anionic surfactants like SCI.
  • Soap Bar Formulation: Used in “syndet” bars to improve structural integrity and foam creaminess.
  • Industrial Metal Finishing: Acts as an additive in certain plating baths to improve luster and deposition.

Not classified as a hazardous substance under GHS; however, avoid dust inhalation. Use safety glasses and dust masks during high-volume powder handling.

25 kg multi-wall paper bags or 500 kg bulk bags (FIBC).
