INCI

Glycolipids

Overview

Sophorolipids are surfactants from fermentation that act as both probiotics and gentle cleansers. They have a bioactive and cleansing effect in the skin, reducing inflammation and ensuring barrier function and balanced microbiome.

Ideal for hand hygiene. Sophorolipids reduce the inflammatory cytokine production of skin cells, whereas traditional synthetic surfactants often cause hand irritation and sensitization.

Suitable for both leave-on and rinse-off products. Typical applications include facial toners, body sprays, wipes, as well as hand and face washes. Ideal for non-traditional hair cleansing (no-poos and cleansing conditioners) as well as scalp treatments.
