How to Use AccessMILD SCG-25S in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessMILD SCG-25S

If you’re looking for a cleansing ingredient that’s both effective and incredibly gentle, AccessMILD SCG-25S is an excellent choice. It’s a surfactant—the ingredient that makes cleansers foam and wash away dirt and oil. Unlike traditional sulfates (e.g., SLS), which can be harsh and drying, this material is based on glycine, a natural amino acid found in the skin, giving it exceptional mildness and skin compatibility.

For the chemistry-minded, AccessMILD SCG-25S is an anionic surfactant (Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate) known for producing a dense, stable, and creamy foam with a luxurious skin feel. In use, it reduces surface tension so water can mix with oils and impurities for easy rinsing. It cleans thoroughly while helping the skin feel soft and hydrated rather than tight or stripped, making it ideal for sensitive-skin and premium cleansing systems.

Formulation Tips

AccessMILD SCG-25S can be used as the primary surfactant or as a co-surfactant to boost foam quality and mildness. For gentle facial cleansers, use 10–20%. For sulfate-free shampoos or body washes targeting abundant foam, use 15–30%. As a secondary surfactant to improve mildness and creaminess, 5–10% is effective.

Add AccessMILD SCG-25S to the water phase. It performs best in formulas with a final pH of 6.0–9.0. At pH below 5.0 it can become less soluble and may precipitate or cause cloudiness, so adjust the final pH accordingly. It pairs well with other mild surfactants such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine or glucosides to create balanced, high-performing cleansing systems.
