Formulation Deep Dive

Cooki Haircare's Rice Water Protein Shampoo Bar is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous cleansing system designed for hair fortification and repair. The base utilizes a concentrated blend of solid surfactants, specifically Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, to provide gentle yet effective detergency without the need for water-based fillers. The texture and conditioning profile are driven by a lipid-rich carrier system of Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, and Castor Oil, which ensures structural integrity and provides emolliency. For active performance, the formula leverages Rice Protein and Rice Powder to provide structural strengthening and volume, while Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride serves as a cationic conditioning agent to improve wet combability and reduce static. The system is stabilized through its solid-state architecture and includes Glycerin as a humectant to maintain moisture balance, utilizing Citric Acid for pH adjustment to ensure scalp compatibility.
