Overview
EcoSenseTM GL-60 HL Surfactant is a naturally derived bio-surfactant with emulsifying properties. This is a glycolipid, more specifically a sophorolipid with low HLB and foaming. It contains a high lactone form percentage. Thanks to its high active content, it is used at low levels to boost the performance of other bio-based surfactants allowing naturally derived formulations. EcoSenseTM GL-60 HL Surfactant is non-GMO and readily bio-degradable. Sophorolipids: fermentation products of glucose and fatty acids, C18 (unsaturated), glycerol esters with yeast Candida Bombicola. Cosmetics ingredient.
