UNISURF SCA (SODIUM COCOAMPHOACETATE)
General Overview
UNISURF SCA is a highly mild, coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant based on Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, designed for use in gentle personal care formulations. It is especially valued in sulfate-free systems for its ability to reduce irritation, stabilize foam, and improve formulation viscosity. It is particularly suitable for baby care, facial cleansers, and sensitive skin products.
