## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to make a homemade liquid laundry detergent?**
A: Of course, it is possible, but it is better to use liquid Surfactants to make a liquid laundry detergent.

**Q: If this is biodegradable and so gentle on the skin, why is there a giant warning on the label about long term harm to aquatic life?**
A: SCI is biodegradable if it's used for production of products by appropriate balanced quantities and does not get in the full concentration directly into the environment. By the way, we always provide all the information about the products without hiding the risky aspects.

**Q: Is this the fine powder or just ground?**
A: Yes, this is a REAL fine POWDER.

**Q: Is this vegan?**
A: Sodium cocoyl isethionate is considered a vegan ingredient. As sodium cocoyl isethionate is derived from coconut oil, a plant-based source, it is considered a vegan ingredient.
