Frequently Asked Questions About Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder

Q: Is SCI powder safe for sensitive skin and baby products in Australia?
A: Yes — mild, hypoallergenic, sulfate-free, TGA-compliant for face, scalp and baby cleansers.

Q: How do I use SCI in shampoo and syndet bars?
A: Use 40–60% in bars (melt at 80°C with butters). Add 5–10% cocamidopropyl betaine for foam boost. Press firmly, cure 24–48 hrs.

Q: Can it create creamy lather without sulfates?
A: Yes — dense, stable, luxurious foam even in hard water. Pair with stearic acid for hardness and shea butter for conditioning.

Q: What’s the difference between SCI powder and noodles?
A: Powder = finer, faster melt (30–60 sec at 80°C); noodles take longer. Both 100% active — powder preferred for small-batch precision.

Q: Does it ship across Australia?
A: Yes — delivery Australia wide.

Q: What makes your SCI powder unique?
A: Ultra-fine white powder, coconut-derived, biodegradable — 3-year shelf, no fillers, consistent lather in Aussie water conditions.

Q: How to store and handle in humid climates?
A: Store sealed, cool, dry — use mask when weighing. In QLD/NT, keep in air-conditioned space to prevent clumping.
