Sodium Surfactin, derived from Bacillus subtilis through fermentation, is a natural surfactant with high biodegradability and low skin irritation. It enables the creation of D-Phase emulsions, which are bi-continuous phases that incorporate both oil and water. This ingredient is commonly used in skincare products such as cleansers, shampoos, and make-up removers for its gentle cleansing properties and ability to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils. It is also used in skincare products for its ability to form gels and emulsions.

This unique structure allows for the creation of innovative skincare products with enhanced performance."}, {"Benefit title": "Low Usage Rate", "Benefit Description": "Sodium Surfactin requires a very low dosage (0.1% to emulsify 10% of oil), making it cost-effective and reducing the risk of skin irritation."}, {"Benefit title": "Effective Makeup Removal", "Benefit Description": "Sodium Surfactin is effective in removing dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils."}, {"Benefit title": "Gel-forming", "Benefit Description": "Sodium Surfactin can be used to create gels, which are semi-solid products with a gelatinous texture."}, {"Benefit title": "Emulsifying", "Benefit Description": "Sodium Surfactin helps to form stable emulsions, which are mixtures of oil and water that would otherwise separate."}]
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
In a skin irritation test, Sodium Surfactin had no observable irritation under 2.5%. However, it is important to note that individual skin sensitivities may vary.
Ensure the final pH of the formulation is around 6.3. Add oils extremely slowly to the Sodium Surfactin phase to avoid separation. Sodium Surfactin is soluble in aqueous solvents. Precipitation at acidic pH or with alkaline earth metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+) can occur. Finished formulations should have a pH close to neutral, and the use of a chelating agent in the presence of earth metal ions is recommended.
Sodium Surfactin is produced through a sustainable natural fermentation process using the bacterium Bacillus subtilis.
