Mild, Low Foaming, Cleaning & Solubilising, Non-Ionic Biosurfactant
SOPHOROLIPIDS are palm-free glycolipids biosurfactants produced by an in-house and proprietary fermentation process using local carbohydrates.
Combining surface-active performance, gentleness and high biodegradability, SOPHOROLIPIDS offer a safe, sustainable and environment-friendly alternative to palm and fossil-based surfactants.
Ecocert and Cosmos certified, SOPHOROLIPIDS are suitable to various applications in Cosmetics, Homecare and Agrochemicals.
SOPHOROLIPID ECOS is a palm-free biosurfactant, especially designed for low foaming, fast wetting, and degreasing household and surface cleaning formulations. Its shows a natural antimicrobial activity thanks to its high level of lactonic form. It also shows excellent skin compatibility and high biodegradability.
