SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) is a gentle surfactant that has revolutionized the cosmetics industry. Derived from coconut oil, this natural-based cleanser offers a gentle alternative to traditional soaps and aggressive surfactants. SCI has a high foam-forming capacity, which provides effective cleansing without drying and irritating the skin. Thanks to its neutral pH value and low irritation potential, it is an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin, baby products and facial cleansers.
SCI in solid form is commonly used in cosmetics that do not contain water, such as solid shampoos, cleansing bars, and pressed bath products. This surfactant, which has a high biodegradation, is one of the essential cleaners preferred by eco-friendly cosmetics brands.
Special packaging solutions are essential to maintain the effectiveness of SCI-containing formulations and prevent moisture absorption. Özkamçı Pilastik manufactures plastic cream boxes developed to meet this need of cosmetic manufacturers.
Özkamçı Pilastic and Cosmetic Packaging Solutions
Özkamçı Pilastik manufactures plastic cream boxes specially designed to meet the packaging requirements of the cosmetics industry. The company guarantees product safety and quality by producing in accordance with ISO 22716 (Cosmetic GMP) standards.

The firm offers a variety of packaging options for both solid formulations and liquid preparations, catering to all the needs of cosmetics manufacturers.
Packaging of SCI-Containing Cleaning Formulations
In the packaging of cosmetic products containing SCI, some specific requirements must be met in order to protect this special cleaner. Özkamçı Pilastik stands out with its innovative packaging solutions developed to meet these requirements. In particular, packages with a high moisture barrier prevent the product from absorbing moisture and softening due to the hygroscopic feature of SCI.Cream boxes with hermetic lids offered by Özkamçı Pilastik maintain the physical stability of the product by completely isolating the contents from moisture. In addition, temperature fluctuation-resistant packaging ensures that solid formulations maintain their structural integrity during melt-solidification cycles. The firm also offers packaging materials with antimicrobial properties, guaranteeing the microbiological stability of even water-free formulations.
Sustainable and Plastic Reducing Packaging Solutions
For products formulated with eco-friendly ingredients such as SCI, the packaging is expected to reflect the same sustainable approach. Özkamçı Pilastik closely follows this trend and offers sustainable packaging solutions with minimum plastic. Thin-walled lightweight packaging developed for solid cosmetics reduces the use of plastic while not compromising on product protection. The company contributes to the circular economy by offering packaging made from PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials and bio-based plastic alternatives. Özkamçı Pilastik's compostable packaging options are an ideal solution for cosmetics brands aiming for zero waste. In addition, refillable systems and compact packaging designed for concentrated products significantly reduce plastic consumption.
