What is EcoSense™ GL-60 HA Surfactant?
A naturally derived bio-surfactant ( 99% bio derived) with emulsifying properties. This is a glycolipid, more specifically a sophorolipid with medium to high HLB. It contains a high percentage of the acid form. Thanks to its high active content, it is used at low levels to boost the performance of other bio-based surfactants enabling naturally derived formulations. EcoSense™ GL-60 HA Surfactant is non-GMO, sugar based and exhibits 60 percent biodegradation within 28 days per OECD 301F.INCI name: Glycolipids
