Soapeauty SCI Noodles – Gentle Coconut-Derived Surfactant for Skin & Hair (16 oz)

Meet Soapeauty Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Noodles

Soapeauty SCI noodles are a coconut oil–derived, mild anionic surfactant formed into solid noodle strands. They disperse smoothly in water to help create luxurious foams in a variety of DIY skin and hair products. While designed to be skin-friendly, these noodles offer a balanced approach to cleansing that works well in many formulations and can be used across different product types. Their natural origin and clean texture make them a popular starting point for craft cosmetics and bath projects.

What makes SCI noodles a versatile ingredient

• Mild cleansing with good foaming: derived from coconut oil, SCI noodles provide gentle cleansing properties while delivering satisfying foam in formulas.
• Skin-friendly pH balance: the noodles perform well in water with a typical pH around 5–6.5, aligning with common personal care routines.
• Easy dispersion and formulation support: solid noodle form disperses readily and supports thickening and conditioning in recipes.
• Ideal for DIY projects: widely used in solid shampoos, soaps, shower bars, lotions, and conditioner bars, as well as bath products.

In soap making and DIY cosmetics

• Primary foamer potential: often chosen as the main foamer in cleansing products and shave creams.
• Texture and appearance: noodle variety can contribute a distinct look to lotion bars, soaps, and conditioner bars.
• Dispersion and performance: disperses easily in water and supports lather, mild cleaning, and conditioning properties.

How to use

Use within a 3–40% addition range depending on the product type. For best results, melt SCI noodles in a compatible base such as Bubble Up or cocamidopropyl betaine before folding into the water phase of your formulation. Adjust your ratios gradually and test across batches to dial in the foam, texture, and cleansing performance you’re seeking.
