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 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
