Actera Ingredients has been appointed as the exclusive agent for Allied Carbon Solution’s ACS-Sophor products for the cosmetics & household market in North America.
ACS-Sophor is a sophorolipid, a fully natural surfactant produced directly from the fermentation of natural oils. According to the company, sophorolipids have garnered interest in the natural products industry due to their exceptional cleaning ability while being highly gentle and safe for the environment. These glycolipids are novel biological compounds, that not only overcome the negatives associated with chemical surfactants, but also offer an exciting new platform for wellness brands. Sophorolipids are the ideal ingredient for clean label, high performing personal care and household products.
Allied Carbons Solutions, a Japanese company focussed on eco-friendly fermentation products, has been a leader at fermenting glycolipids at commercial scale. Through this distribution arrangement with Actera Ingredients, North American cosmetic and household brands can now access large scale production of Sophorolipids, as well as Actera’s technical and formulation support.
