Grape Seed Surfactant for Sensitive Skin and Eco-Friendly Formulations
Grape Seed Surfactant is a non-ionic, plant-derived surfactant produced by combining glucose and the fatty acids of Vitis vinifera seeds. Naturally mild and fully biodegradable, this ingredient is valued for its excellent cleansing power without disrupting the skin barrier. It appears as a translucent to pale yellow liquid, water-soluble, and highly compatible with other surfactants.
Widely embraced by formulators of natural and organic cosmetics, this surfactant is ideal for daily facial cleansers, baby care, intimate hygiene, sulfate-free shampoos, and veterinary or pharmaceutical cleansers. Its origin from grape seeds aligns perfectly with global trends for clean label, sustainable, and sulfate-free formulations.
Mylo Opt supplies this surfactant globally, with volumes suitable for labs, contract manufacturers, and industrial-scale operations. Full documentation (COA, SDS, specification sheet) is provided to meet international regulatory compliance.
