A family of naturally sourced, biodegradable surfactant
EcoSense™ Surfactants have been specially developed to help create end-use formulations that offer optimum performance with excellent sensory appeal.
Belonging to the family of alkyl polyglucosides, EcoSense™ products can be used as both primary and co-surfactants in a variety of cleansing applications, such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, liquid hand soaps and baby wipes.
Dow's EcoSense surfactants are part of the company's efforts to develop more sustainable and environmentally responsible products, addressing the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions in various industries.
EcoSense™ surfactants are a line of sustainable, eco-friendly surfactant products developed by Dow Chemical Company (now Dow Inc.). These surfactants are designed to have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional surfactants, while still providing excellent performance in various applications.
EcoSense surfactants are derived from renewable plant-based feedstocks and are designed to be readily biodegradable, reducing their environmental footprint. The line includes various types of surfactants, such as anionic surfactants (e.g., EcoSense AG Sulfates and EcoSense AG Sulfonates), non-ionic surfactants (e.g., EcoSense Glucamides and EcoSense Glucosamines), and amphoteric surfactants (e.g., EcoSense Betaines and EcoSense Sultaines).
EcoSense surfactants are suitable for use in various beauty and personal care applications, including shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and more. These surfactants offer formulation benefits such as biodegradability, renewable raw materials, excellent performance properties (foaming, wetting, emulsifying), low toxicity and skin irritation potential, and suitability for formulations aimed at eco-labels and green certifications.
EcoSense surfactants are designed to comply with various environmental regulations and are listed on authoritative inventories, such as REACH (European Union) and TSCA (United States).
