is there such thing as coconut free shampoo bar?
Im looking for a SCI and SLSa substitution that is NOT lye. For a shampoo bar that is not coconut derived for people with coconut allergies. Is it possible to make an 80% clay bar?

You would need to trace the source right back to manufacture which would be very difficult. Most surfactants come from palm but there may be coconut mixed in somewhere down the line so you can’t be sure. This part of the manufacturing process is not very transparent.
There are a couple of amphoteric liquid surfactants from Colonial that claim to be coconut free.

Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll be able to find a powdered anionic surfactant that you can absolutely guarantee has never had coconut introduced in any part of the process.

It might be hard to find but some SLS might still be petroleum derived rather than coconut derived.
