Chemical Structure
Basic Info
Sodium cocoyl hydroxyethyl sulfonate (SCI) is an important surfactant component in mild synthetic detergent cleaning soaps. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that compared to surfactants such as soap and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), SCI is mild and causes less damage to the skin barrier. Undecenoic acid is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C11H20O2, typically extracted from vegetable or animal oils. It belongs to the class of alkene acid compounds, with an alkene-based structure containing double bonds, typically found in oils and fats, especially in certain plant seeds such as castor oil.
From a chemical perspective, undecylenic acid contains a single carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) in its molecular structure, which gives it the characteristics of an unsaturated fatty acid, making it reactive and capable of participating in various chemical reactions such as hydrogenation and alcoholization. Due to its unique chemical structure, it is widely used in the chemical industry and personal care products.

Product Packaging
1. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Undecenoic Acid has important applications in cosmetics and personal care products, mainly as an emulsifier, moisturizer and skincare ingredient. Its unsaturated structure helps enhance the moisturizing effect of the skin and can improve the product’s texture.
Moisturizing and moisturizing: Undecylenic acid can help the skin retain moisture and promote skin barrier repair.
Emulsifier: In lotions and creams, undecylenic acid, as an emulsifier, can help the oil and water phases disperse to form a stable emulsion.
Antibacterial effect: Because undecylenic acid has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, it is often used in antibacterial skin care products and preservative products.
2. Surfactant
Undecenoic Acid has a certain polarity and hydrophobicity. It can be a surfactant and is widely used in cleaning products, detergents, shampoos, etc. It can help enhance the product’s cleaning ability and improve foam performance.
Cleansers: In cleansers, undecylenic acid can effectively reduce the surface tension of water and enhance detergency.
Shampoo and shower gel: As a surfactant, it helps improve the stability and cleaning effect of the foam.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry
Undecenoic Acid has certain applications in the pharmaceutical industry due to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Antimicrobial agent: Undecylenic acid has certain antibacterial and antifungal capabilities and is often used in the pharmaceutical field as an auxiliary ingredient for treating skin or fungal infections.
Skin treatment: In some ointments and topical medications, undecylenic acid can help reduce skin inflammation and help treat skin problems caused by microbial infections.
4. Plastic and coating industry
Undecenoic Acid is also used as a chemical raw material and plays a role in polymer synthesis and coating production.
Plastic additive: It can be used as a monomer to participate in synthesizing polymer materials and improve materials’ flexibility and wear resistance.
Coatings: In coatings, undecylenic acid as an additive can improve the adhesion and durability of the coating and enhance its performance.
5. Industrial lubricants
Undecenoic Acid can be used as a thickener or lubrication performance enhancer in the formulation of lubricants to help reduce friction and improve the stability of equipment operation.
Lubricating oil: It can be used to formulate lubricating oil to increase the lubrication effect and reduce wear.
Preservative: In some lubricants and hydraulic oils, undecylenic acid can help prevent metal rust and corrosion.
6. Chemical synthesis
Undecenoic Acid can also be used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and participate in the synthesis of other chemicals.
Chemical reaction intermediate: It can be used as an important raw material in organic synthesis to prepare other chemicals such as esters, alcohols, amines, etc.
Hydrogenation reaction: Through hydrogenation reaction, undecylenic acid can be converted into saturated fatty acids, further used to synthesize more complex chemical products.
