What is SCS Sodium Coco Sulfate?

SCS Sodium Coco-sulphate is an anionic surfactant derived from 100% natural coconut oil. It comes in the form of white granules and is highly soluble in water. But what does it mean that it is an anionic surfactant?

A surfactant, or surface active agent, is a substance that reduces the surface tension between two substances, such as water and oils. Anionic surfactants, such as SCS Sodium Coco Sulfate, carry a negative charge and are known to produce a rich and effective lather.

Its chemical composition includes sulfated C12-18 fatty alcohol, sodium salt and other components that make it exceptionally beneficial in the world of cosmetics. SCS Sodium Coco Sulfate is an ideal surfactant for topical facial, body and hair products thanks to its exfoliating, foaming, thickening and conditioning properties.
