Bio-based surfactants for safer, effective cleaning
The home care market is evolving rapidly. Consumers are increasingly aware of the ingredients in their cleaning products and expect transparency, safety, and sustainability. At the same time, brands must deliver high performance—whether it's stain removal, surface disinfection, or gentle laundry products for sensitive skin.
Meeting consumer expectations for clean and conscious products
This shift is driving demand for bio-based surfactants that offer both efficacy and environmental responsibility. Manufacturers are looking to replace petrochemical ingredients with plant-based alternatives that meet regulatory standards and align with consumer values.
Innovating with reliable and sustainable ingredients
Roquette partners with home care manufacturers to co-develop surfactant solutions that meet technical, regulatory, and market expectations. Our ingredients are available in food and pharma grades, ensuring safety and quality across applications.
Our plant-based portfolio supports the formulation of surfactants for laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, and more. These ingredients are designed for compatibility, biodegradability, and consistent performance.
Our bio-based solutions for Home Care
Roquette’s ingredients help formulators meet consumer expectations for safer, more natural products—without compromising on cleaning power:
- NEOSORB® Sorbitol: A versatile polyol used in surfactant synthesis, offering stability and compatibility.
- XYLISORB® Xylitol & Mannitol: Plant-based polyols with excellent solubility and mildness.
- Polysorb® Isosorbide: A biodegradable building block for surfactants with high purity and performance.
- Glucose syrups & Dextrose: Renewable carbohydrate sources for mild, effective cleaning agents and surfactants
- Biosuccinium® Succinic Acid: A 100% bio-based ingredient that enhances cleaning performance and supports sustainability claims.
- Gluconic Acid: a 100% biobased ingredient that supports effective cleaning by gently chelating metal ions, helping improve stain removal and surface care in mild, biodegradable formulations
- METHOCEL™ hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC): a premium thickener, binder and gelling agent for alcohol-based cleaning gels(e.g., hand sanitizers, cleaning gels…). METHOCEL™ controls viscosity and rheology to enable easy dispensing and application, with reduced waste. METHOCEL™ is based on cellulose and is a renewable alternative to carbomers.
All our solutions are designed to support safer formulations and meet the growing expectations of consumers and regulators.
