Sodium Surfactin
Sodium Surfactin is a high-quality biosurfactant produced through the natural fermentation of Bacillus subtilis. It is prized in the cosmetics industry for its exceptional gentleness, low skin irritation, and excellent biodegradability. Its unique cyclic lipopeptide structure allows it to function effectively as an emulsifier, cleanser, and co-surfactant, even at extremely low concentrations. This makes it an ideal ingredient for formulating advanced, natural, and sustainable personal care products that prioritize both efficacy and mildness.
- Experience the benefits of a low dosage emulsifier with average oil droplet sizes around 1 micron, crucial for delicate cosmetic formulations.
- Leverage its high performance, with a Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) that significantly outperforms traditional surfactants and lecithin.
- Utilize this ingredient as a surfactant for very gentle cleansers, maintaining skin integrity and comfort.
- Incorporate it as a co-surfactant to decrease the usage of anionic surfactants and enhance emulsion stability with nonionic surfactants.
