SCI 80 Needles - Benefits and uses :

It is one of the best sulfate-free alternatives available in the market.
Owing to its mild cleansing and high foaming capabilities, it is traditionally used to make solid shampoo bars, conditioner bars, syndet bars, and bath bombs.
It is outstanding for use in products for color-treated hair.
Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it resists hard water and therefore prevents the formation of scum, which ensures no residue is left behind.
It lathers pretty well when used as a stand-alone surfactant base and hence appeals to the sense of cleaning.
It offers a 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.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI 80) Needles- How it works:

This chemical is a surfactant that has a hydrophobic alkyl tail and a hydrophilic sulfonate anion.
These help to remove dirt and grime from the surface by attaching themselves to oil/grease and water respectively.

SCI 80 Needles - Concentration and Solubility :

The maximum suggested concentration for use in various formulations is up to 40% in rinse-off applications and 17% in leave-on applications.
To increase its solubility in liquid detergents, betaine, nonionic sugar surfactants, glyceramides, polyglycosides, etc can be used.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Needles - How to use :

Mix in the surfactant phase of your choice.
Heat slowly on low heat.
Stir using a high-shear stick blender to prevent excess foaming.
Add surfactant mix to the rest of the formulation.
