SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sci's exceptional mildness is demonstrated by its near-zero protein denaturation in zein testing (a standard measure of surfactant aggressiveness). by comparison, sodium lauryl sulfate denatures 90% of zein protein at equivalent concentrations, while sci denatures <5%, explaining the dramatic difference in skin and eye irritation between the two surfactants.
