"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

"Easy to work with " COMMENTS:  I made my first shampoo bars and found an easy way to melt them. I have a coffee warmer and put my SCI in a glass measuring cup and popped it on that with a paper towel over it, to keep the heat in, of course it takes a while but it’s less messy than a double boiler.

Christina • North Dakota Date Submitted:  10/20/2018 I Recommend This Product!

"Wonderful product!" COMMENTS:  The one thing negative about this product, but it doesn't matter where one gets it from, the noodles are very hard to melt if you go that route. 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. This works wonderful for those who have hard water. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Shampoo Bars THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Lather • Clean rinse • how clean hair feels

"Excellent Product!" COMMENTS:  This stuff is awesome! I've been looking for a non soap surfactant for use in shampoo (hair soaps are just too alkaline for my hair) and needed something gentle and sulfate free. This product is perfect. The phone registered at about 6, which works wonderfully for hair, as did not irritate my scalp or leave my hair feeling crunchy. Thank you WSP!!!!!

"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.

"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
