Coast Southwest is expanding its deep surfactant expertise through its North American partnership with Holiferm. This collaboration enables the company to move beyond traditional ingredient distribution and deliver innovative, value-added solutions that address today’s formulation demands for mildness, sustainability, and performance.

Produced through a fermentation process using renewable, non-GMO feedstocks, Holiferm’s sophorolipids are 100% biobased, readily biodegradable, and manufactured in the UK with a low carbon footprint. Over the past year, Coast Southwest has focused on how these materials perform in real formulations, refining foam, texture, and compatibility to support everyday product development.

HoliSurf HF delivers rich, stable foam with effective yet gentle cleansing, ideal for shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. HoliSurf LF offers a low-foaming profile with strong emulsification benefits, giving formulators flexibility across rinse-off and leave-on applications. Both are INCI-listed as Glycolipids and stand out for their mildness, barrier support, and ability to enhance skin and hair compatibility at lower use levels.

As demand grows for more responsible cleansing solutions, Coast Southwest is helping bring biosurfactants into the mainstream. Contact us to explore what’s possible.
