ISETHIONATES

Isethionates are used in solid soaps (so-called syndet bars) and in other personal care products such as lotions, washing and shower gels, shampoos, liquid soaps, shaving creams, and other cosmetic and dermatological preparations.
Isethionates are used in many personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and toothpaste because they help to remove dirt and oil from the skin or hair.

Isethionates are a class of surfactants derived from isethionic acid, which are commonly used in personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, and cleansers due to their mildness on the skin.
These compounds are known for their good foaming properties and ability to cleanse without causing dryness or irritation.

Isethionates are esters of long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids (C8 – C18) with isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid) or salts thereof, such as ammonium isethionate or sodium isethionate.
Isethionates are also referred to as acyl isethionates or acyloxyethanesulfonates.

Like the taurides, isethionates are a class of particularly mild anionic surfactants which, unlike ordinary soaps, retain their washing-active properties even in hard water.
Isethionates are obtained on an industrial scale reacting mixtures of carboxylic acids with salts of isethionic acid under acidic catalysis e. g. with methanesulfonic acid.

The mixtures of carboxylic acids are obtained from the hydrolysis of animal fats (tallow) or vegetable oils, preferably coconut oil, but also palm oil, soybean oil or castor oil.
Isethionates are characterized by excellent skin compatibility, excellent foaming (even in hard water), good cleansing properties and a pleasant skin feel.

Isethionates are non-toxic and readily biodegradable.
However, in contrast to the taurides, Isethionates are not long-term stable outside a pH range of 5 to 8.
Isethionates surfactants are a class of amphoteric surfactants that contain both sulfonic and carboxylic acid groups.

Isethionates are commonly used as detergents, emulsifiers, and wetting agents in a variety of personal care and cleaning products.
A surfactant is a molecule that lowers the surface tension of a liquid, allowing it to spread more easily.

Isethionates are one type of surfactant, derived from isethionic acid.
Isethionates are used in many personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and toothpaste because they help to remove dirt and oil from the skin or hair.

USES and APPLICATIONS of ISETHIONATES:
Hair Care uses of Isethionates: Known for producing rich lather without the harshness of sulfates, Isethionates are common in sulfate-free shampoos.

-Personal Care uses of Isethionates:
Isethionates are particularly popular in formulations for sensitive skin.
Isethionates create creamy lather and are used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products.

CHEMISTRY OF ISETHIONATES:
Proven Sulfate-free Surfactant Chemistry
Consumers expect cleansing products to provide rich foam with a pleasing after-feel.
The choice of surfactant in achieving this, especially in premium or specialist products, is key.
Comprehensive range of easy-to-use, mild surfactants and performance blends offers dense luxurious foams in:
*Shampoos
*Body and face washes
*Bath foams
*Shower gels
*Babycare

APPLICATION INSIGHTS OF ISETHIONATES:
The global isethionates surfactants market by application was dominated by the wet wipe segment with a revenue share of over 40% in 2017.
Isethionates have a high demand for manufacturing wet wipes as it cleanses and disinfects effectively.
Moreover, increasing environmental concerns regarding sanitation are driving the growth of this segment.

Liquid soap emerged as the second-largest segment in terms of revenue in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to rising consumer awareness about hygiene issues coupled with an increase in spending on personal care products by companies operating across various geographies.

In addition, stringent regulations related to liquid soaps are anticipated to boost industry expansion over the coming years.
Furthermore, growing demand for liquid soaps from developing countries such as India and China owing to rising standards of living among consumers will fuel industry expansion further during the forecast period.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF ISETHIONATES:
Isethionates are typically derived from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid) or its salts, such as sodium isethionate.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ISETHIONATES:
*Ionic nature:
Isethionates are anionic surfactants, meaning they carry a negative charge in solution.

*Cleansing:
Isethionates are often used in syndet (synthetic detergent) bars and mild cleansers because they are less harsh compared to traditional soap.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ISETHIONATES:
*Appearance:
Usually white crystalline powders or flakes.

*Water Solubility:
Soluble in water, forming mild, non-irritating solutions.

*Melting Point:
Dependent on specific derivatives, but for Sodium Isethionate, it decomposes around 300°C.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF ISETHIONATES:
*Biodegradability:
Isethionates are considered more eco-friendly than many traditional surfactants.

*Mildness:
Isethionates are non-irritating, making them suitable for sensitive or dry skin types.

VARITIES OF ISETHIONATES:
*SODIUM COCOYL ISETHIONATE:
Sodium cocoyl isethionate (SCI) is a lathering surfactant used in personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and detergents.

It has been gaining market share over the past few years on account of its excellent cleaning properties.
SCI also acts as an emulsifier in cosmetics and other industrial applications where it is used with polymers to make them water-soluble for easier processing.

*SODIUM LAUROYL ISETHIONATE:
Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate is a white, granular powder that is insoluble in water.
It is commonly used as a surfactant, emulsifier, and wetting agent in a variety of personal care and cleaning products.

It works by reducing the surface tension of water, which allows it to spread more easily and penetrate surfaces.
It is also used to help Suspend soils and oils in water so that they can be removed more easily.

SCI-SYNTHESE OF ISETHIONATES:
Isethionates are solids which are often mixed with fatty acids (up to 30% by weight) to lower their freezing point.
Despite its low water solubility (100ppm at 25 °C), the lower-priced sodium cocoylisethionate has found more widespread use than its well water-soluble ammonium salt (> 25 wt.% at 25 °C).

To solubilize the sparsely soluble isethionates and taurides, the formation of mixtures with amphoteric surfactants (such as cocamidopropyl betaine) are proposed.
From such mixtures, it is possible to prepare liquid, clear and transparent aqueous concentrates which are liquid at room temperature.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF ISETHIONATES:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market with a CAGR of XX% from 2016 to 2028 owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization, and increasing population, North America is anticipated to witness steady growth over the forecast period.
The U.S., being one of the most developed countries in terms of personal care products has witnessed significant growth for liquid soaps and detergents on account of their enhanced cleaning power as compared to other conventional counterparts.
