Sodium Coco Sulfate Powder

Sodium Coco Sulfate is a coconut-derived cleansing surfactant — the ingredient that makes a wash foam and clean. It produces a rich, satisfying lather that lifts away oil, dirt and impurities, which makes it ideal for face washes, powdered cleansers, shampoos and solid cleansing bars. It is a strong cleanser, so it is best balanced with a milder co-surfactant for a gentler feel.

• Usage rate: varies by formula and product type
• Solubility: water-soluble (dissolves with warmth)
• Texture: produces a rich foam and lather
• Pairs well with: milder co-surfactants for a gentler wash

External use only — for cosmetic formulation. Work with a chemist or formulator if you are new to formulating.
