I use it in my syndet bars. It works amazing! I am a frequent user and will continue to purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente producto *by on Reviewed in the United States February 23, 2024* Es un buen producto. Lo utilicé la primera vez para hacer shampoo sólido/en barra y trabaja muy bien, hace su función de limpiar y hacer espuma. Obviamente el shampoo que elaboré llevaba más ingredientes en polvo pero en lo personal considero que vale la pena el precio!. Si recomiendo usar lentes y tapabocas y guantes cuando se usa el producto por que es muy fino y volátil, y como en la hoja de información lo dice puede causar toz, irritación en la piel, etc.Contenta con mi producto!. Lo he comprado 2 veces y definitivamente lo seguiré comprando!. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safety first *by on Reviewed in the United States December 29, 2023* This is my second time ordering from this company. I enjoyed the first batch of SCI and although I haven't touched this second batch yet, I was grateful that they enclosed a mask and a pair of gloves. These are soo helpful and needed!!
