A biosurfactant that performs well in the laboratory is not yet a usable product. For it to reach the market it has to hold up in a real formulation alongside fragrances, actives and preservatives and then match or beat the fossil-based benchmarks, on cleaning power, foam, viscosity, colour, odour and shelf stability.
AMPHISTAR is formulating 6 prototype products with SURFs UP biosurfactants: two hard surface cleaner, a dishwashing liquid, a makeup remover, a liquid hand soap and a body lotion
