"Shampoo bar ingredient" COMMENTS:  This product came as part of the clarifying shampoo bar kit I ordered. I’ve not worked with these SCI noodles before and I was really pleased with their performance in the project. The shampoo bars do not mold as smoothly as soap, but they are luxurious with richer lather than my salon shampoo. I’m sure the molding will improve with the next batch. I definitely will reorder this product as well as the other supplies to make more bars. (And no vinegar rinse needed! Just smooth shiny hair!) PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Shampoo Bars

It's easy to grind up into a powder. It does create a nice thick, rich lather. It washes very nicely from hair. I prefer this to SLSA or SLS as its very mild detergent.

Staff Answer These can not be melted easily on their own. A couple tips are to grind them up smaller before trying to melt, melting them in another oil or liquid ingredient in your formula, or use a double boiler to melt. If you must use a microwave, use it on the lowest setting for more time. This can easily take 20 plus minutes.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: October 16, 2020 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"I plan to make the shampoo bars in the April 2018 Handmade magazine. I have SCI powder/granules instead of the SCI noodles. The moisturizing shampoo bar calls for 4.05 oz noodles. Would you recommend the same 4.05 ounces of the powder. Since the noodles are being melted it makes sense to use equal substitution. I understand my result could be different but any advice is appreciated" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Jannalynn   |   July 31, 2018 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Yes, we would recommend using the same amount of the SCI powder in your recipe.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: August 01, 2018 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"If using SCI noodles along with Bubble Up in an oil only recipe is a preservative required? " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: n/a   |   May 21, 2018 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer It depends on where the finished product will be used. A preservative is not needed to preserve the product if the product is used and kept away from water. If the product will be exposed to water, such as a shampoo bar, then we recommend using a preservative.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: June 25, 2018 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
