This mild surfactant rightly referred to as baby foam, is obtained from coconut oil after undergoing a simple reaction.
INCL name- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
WHY YOU NEED IT-
- 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 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.
PROCESS OF USING-
- 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.
