SCI - Babyfoam

FOAM shampoo bars contain an extremely mild, naturally derived surfactant from coconut oil, often called “babyfoam” for its exceptional gentleness. This sulfate-free formula creates a luxurious, creamy lather that cleanses effectively and naturally without drying out the hair or scalp. The formula is enriched with Distearoylethyl Dimonium Chloride and Cetearyl Alcohol, which are plant-derived and provide a built-in conditioning effect that immediately smooths the surface of the hair shaft. These caring ingredients work together to detangle and make the hair incredibly easy to comb and soft from the very first wash. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is known for leaving hair clean, silky smooth, and manageable, with a luxurious, natural feel. The shampoo is enriched with coconut oil, vitamin E, and glycerin, which, together with the creamy base, provide a fresh and glossy result.
