What is CocoFoam (SCI)?

CocoFoam powder belongs to the anionic surfactants, also called surfactants. Simply put, this means that SCI is a cleansing agent, which easily loosens sebum, dead skin cells, sweat and other dirt. Due to its milder action, it is often used as a replacement for "more aggressive" cleansers like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or SCS (Sodium Coco Sulfate). SCI is also sulfate-free, and your hair loves that!

How is CocoFoam made?

The official name is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI). This is a natural ingredient derived from coconut oil. The process of making SCI involves mixing a natural sulfonic acid called isethionic acid with fatty acids found in coconut oil.

What are the benefits of CocoFoam (SCI)?

Gentle cleansing
CocoFoam cleanses the hair in a gentle way. It has a low pH that fits well with the scalp and doesn't unnecessarily dry it out. For the skin too, CocoFoam is milder than regular soap.

Suitable for all hair types
CocoFoam is very mild and suitable for all hair types, even for curls, as it is sulfate-free!

Rich and creamy foam
CocoFoam creates a thick foam and is ideal for making bath and shower products. Think of wonderfully foaming shampoo bars and bath bombs for bubble baths.

No more aggressive cleanser needed
CocoFoam (SCI) is an ideal replacement for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS). These substances often extremely dry out the skin and your hair. SCI doesn't do that, and your hair is just as clean!

How do you use it?

CocoFoam powder is a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into various cosmetic products.

CocoFoam powder can be used alone or together with other surfactants and you can make the most beautiful Shampoo Bars, Face Bars or Body Wash Bars with it. But you can also make liquid shampoos and shower gels with it. So a super versatile product!

Dosage:

• Shampoo bars: 30-60%
• Liquid soap: 1-20%

Note: Store CocoFoam (SCI) in a cool, dark place in a well-sealed package. Keep out of reach of children. And always use a face mask or dust mask when making this product!

Tips for sensitive skin

Although products with CocoFoam powder are safe to use, like other cleansing agents it can be irritating to your skin. It can also sting when it gets in your eyes.

Does your skin feel tight after using a shampoo or soap? Then there's a good chance your skin is sensitive to this product. Don't use cleansing products too often, not in too large quantities and rinse thoroughly.
