Sodium cocoyl isethionate is a mild surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, cleansers, and soap bars. It creates a rich lather, gently lifts away dirt and grime, and hydrates the skin. It is considered safe for sensitive skin and has been deemed safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel.
Produces a silky lather: Due to the fact that it's a surfactant, sodium cocoyl isethionate lowers the surface tension of the water, allowing the product to spread easier across the face. Adding hydration and moisture: Sodium cocoyl isethionate exhibits a high foaming ability producing a stable, rich, and velvety lather that does not dehydrate the skin. Gently lifting away dirt, oil, and another build-up: By bonding water and oil, sodium cocoyl isethionate has the ability to help get rid of any makeup residue, dirt, or grime that's been sitting on your face, body, or scalp all day. Preventing damage to the skin barrier: Unlike other harsher surfactants, sodium cocoyl isethionate is kinder on the skin. In return, explains Graf, it cleanses the skin gently without damaging the moisture barrier or taking away any hydration. Emulsifying property: Sodium cocoyl isethionate allows water and oil to mix, making it a popular ingredient in soaps and shampoos, as it encourages dirt to attach itself to them, which in turn makes it easier for it to be washed away. Deluxe foaming capacity and conditioning effects: Sodium cocoyl isethionate leaves the hair and skin feeling hydrated, soft, and silky-smoothe.
In general, it's great for all skin types, particularly those with sensitive or dry skin since it's not as harsh as other surfactants.
Potential side effects of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate include eye irritation and lung irritation.
If you overuse the ingredient, it may be drying, particularly for those with natural or thicker textured hair types. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Raw Material is for external use only.
