Disrupting a
Market Ready for Change
Transforming the industry of chemicals and ingredients to a more sustainable bio-based approach. We are starting by changing the surfactant industry.
Our first product group: bio-based surfactants for personal care, cosmetics, home care, and I&I.
A Surfactant Built on
Three Uncompromised Pillars
Our surfactant is not a trade-off. It is the first bio-based surfactant to deliver on performance, mildness, and sustainability simultaneously.
Performance
Outperforms market benchmarks at cost. Superior stain removal validated by leading industry players.
Mildness
Probably the mildest surfactant on the market. No GHS pictograms required, which is exceptional for any surfactant.
Sustainability
Significantly lower CO₂ than alternatives. Readily biodegradable in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
Our Breakthrough Surfactant
Our non-ionic, bio-based surfactant is produced via NorFalk's proprietary biocatalytic process and has exceptional viscosity-building properties and a uniquely mild profile.
Our surfactant acts as a multi-benefit ingredient, simplifying formulations while reducing complexity and delivering strong cleaning performance.
- No GHS pictograms required
- No 1,4-dioxane (unlike ethoxylates)
- Readily biodegradable in aerobic and anaerobic conditions
- Competitive performance versus market benchmarks
The unique combination of performance and mildness has not been seen in the market before.
Process Overview
Formally Recognised.
Our first non-ionic surfactant has received formal certification, confirming its credentials for use in certified sustainable formulations.
Under Consideration for Future Formulations
Where Our Product Is Being
Used Today
Our surfactant has been tested and validated by leading industry players across home care, institutional cleaning, and personal care.
Home Care & I&I
Comparable performance to ethoxylates. Free from petroleum and palm kernel oil. Suitable for a wide range of cleaning applications.
Demonstrated in applications such as laundry detergents, automatic dishwash (ADW), and hard surface cleaning.
Personal Cleaning
Designed for formulations where mildness is essential. Gentle on skin and eyes. Free from tropical oils and petrochemical derivatives.
This has been demonstrated with applications such as shampoos and facial cleansers.
Rheology Modifier
Builds viscosity without additional thickeners. Simplifies formulations and reduces complexity. Suitable across rinse-off and leave-on products.
Eliminates the need for a separate thickener in a wide range of personal care and home care formulations.
Our first product group is surfactants with a large application potential.
Agriculture
Adjuvants, crop protection, and sustainable agrochemical formulations.
Pharmaceuticals
Emulsion-based drug delivery and bio-compatible excipients.
Electronics
Precision cleaning and semiconductor processing aids.
Textile & Plastics
Sustainable processing aids and finishing agents.
Food & Drinks
Food-grade emulsifiers and surface-active ingredients.
Three Forces
Driving Reformulation
Performance gap in sustainable surfactants
Brands seeking to reformulate with bio-based surfactants consistently encounter a performance gap versus petrochemical benchmarks. Formulators are forced to choose between sustainability and efficacy. Our product eliminates this trade-off.
Consumer demand for mild, safe products
Consumer sensitivity to harsh synthetic ingredients is accelerating, particularly in personal care. Demand for sulfate-free, 1,4-dioxane-free, and plant-derived formulations is structural, not cyclical.
Regulatory pressure is intensifying
The 1,4-dioxane ban (affecting ethoxylates) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR, enforced from end of 2025) are forcing reformulation across the supply chain. Bio-based, non-tropical alternatives are no longer optional.
