Why do we use it in formulations? It offers beautiful, gentle “lace glove” lather to our products. It’s also naturally acidic, so it helps our end products have a skin-friendly pH with less (or no) adjusting.
Strengths Wonderful, gentle lather.
Weaknesses The larger shapes can be a pain to melt down.
How to Work with It

Wear a dust mask! Inhaling airborne powdered surfactants is unbelievably unpleasant.

If you’re making a solid product you can usually work with the SCI as-is, depending on the format. 

If you would like to make powder (the formulation calls for the powdered version) you’ll want to pre-grind it (wear your dust mask!), but the little noodles look really cool in shampoo bars as-is, and the fine powder is very flexible!

If you are making a liquid product with Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), it will need to be dissolved in a suitable solvent first. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) does not dissolve readily into water. It will need water bath until you have a uniform paste. That paste will dissolve into water.

Benefits
  • Excellent foam density and foam stability
  • Has very good lime soap dispersion and surface activity
  • Leaves no soap scum as it is very hard water tolerant
  • Compatible with soaps and anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactant
  • Excellent lathering; exceptionally mild, provides soft skin after-feel

Note: If the formulation calls for the powdered version you need to pre-grind it (wear your dust mask!), but the little noodles look really good in shampoo bars as-is, and the fine powder is very flexible!
