Synopsis

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the sustainability and safety of the products they use. In the personal and home care markets, there is a strong demand for natural and mild ingredients made from responsibly sourced materials.    Surfactants are an essential part of our lives. Yet, traditional surfactants pose challenges in terms of sustainability and safety. Evonik has developed a platform of REWOFERM® sustainable glycolipid biosurfactants – sophorolipids and rhamnolipids – with outstanding mildness, biodegradability and low ecological toxicity.   In addition to their strong sustainability profile, REWOFERM® biosurfactants have excellent foaming, cleaning and solubilising properties. This makes them highly suitable for home care applications such as hard surface cleaning and laundry care, as recently reported in various publications. However, as market needs and application requirements extend well beyond these two areas, Evonik has continued to explore opportunities to implement biosurfactants for other home care purposes. In this presentation, we will discuss our findings on the use of REWOFERM® biosurfactants in home care beyond laundry detergents and hard surface cleaning.
