SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) is a commonly used

SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) is a commonly used anionic, sulfate-free surfactant, loved by syndet makers for it's mildness and creamy lather. However, due to its poor water solubility it is usually replaced with SLMI (Sodium Lauryl Methyl Isethionate) in liquid products. SCMI (Sodium Cocoyl Methyl Isethionate) is similar to SLMI. In this video we are making a sulfate-free shampoo with @innospec's SCMI and CAPB as the surfactants. 1.4% sodium chloride was included to thicken. As with SLMI, adding a chelator helps clarity. The video (except the last static shot), was filmed in July 2019 and at that point no DIY suppliers were selling SCMI. @WindyPointSoap in Canada have now brought it in. Give it a try and let us have your thoughts!

As an educator I find giving students practical exercises like the one above, a powerful, interactive and fun learning tool. This one is aimed at intermediate level formulators (homecrafters and chemists alike). Go on, have a go and comment below with your thoughts on what the errors are and how to fix them. ⁣

I love this handy chart from Innospec's presentation: "Formulating High Performance Sulfate-Free Cleansing Products". ⁣

As you can see, surfactants have a working pH range. Some surfactants can hydrolyze at a low pH (SCI, Iselux, Sulfosuccinate). ⁣

Formulations don't have to be complex. This one is super simple and a breeze to dupe. Cold process, no oil phase, and all ingredients are easy to get hold of (click link in bio to access our list of DIY suppliers). Ingredient wise, the formula is inexpensive apart from the sodium hyaluronate, (high molecular weight: 1-1.5 million daltons), which retails around US$2-5 for 1g. The preservative, Euxyl® PE 9010, is a blend of 90% phenoxyethanol and 10% ethylhexylglycerin.⁣
