Rhamnolipids

Shaanxi Huatai Bio-fine Chemical Co. provides premium cosmetic grade Rhamnolipids, characterized by their exceptional surface activity and low toxicity profile. Our unique advantage lies in the high-purity fermented form of these active ingredients skincare, which ensures a rich, stable foam and efficient emulsification without the irritation commonly associated with SLS or SLES. As the signature choice for “Eco-Conscious” and “Sensitive Skin” cleansing lines, our Rhamnolipids empower brands to deliver high-performance products that align with the global demand for sustainable, non-GMO, and ocean-friendly cosmetic chemistry.

1. Product Overview & Key Specifications

• Rhamnolipids are natural extracellular metabolites consisting of rhamnose and fatty acid chains.

• They are highly valued for their multi-functional role as cleansers, emulsifiers, and antimicrobial boosters.

2. Technical Highlights & Critical Parameters

• Our Rhamnolipids are refined to minimize residual fermentation odors and ensure consistent batch-to-batch performance.

• Active Content: Standardized aqueous solutions (typically 40% concentrate).

• CMC (Critical Micelle Concentration): Extremely low, allowing for high efficacy at low dosages.

• Heavy Metals: < 10 ppm.

• Stability: Excellent stability across a wide pH range (pH 3.0 – 10.0) and resistant to high salinity.

3. Mechanism of Action (MoA)

• Low Surface Tension: Rapidly reduces the surface tension between water and oils, facilitating the lift and removal of pollutants.

• Micellar Protection: Forms mild micelles that encapsulate debris without penetrating or solubilizing the essential lipids of the skin barrier.

• Biological Compatibility: The glycolipid structure mimics natural skin components, reducing the potential for immune-mediated irritation.

4. Core Advantages & Market USPs

• 100% Biodegradable: Breaks down completely in the environment within days, making it an ideal “Greywater Safe” ingredient.

• Barrier-First Cleansing: Effectively removes SPF, makeup, and pollution while leaving the skin’s NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) intact.

• Antibacterial Synergy: Exhibits natural antimicrobial properties that can help reduce the amount of traditional preservatives needed in a formula.

5. Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Usage: 1.0% – 5.0% (as primary/secondary surfactant), 0.1% – 1.0% (as a booster).

• Processing: Water-soluble; can be added directly to the aqueous phase at any stage of the process.

• Compatibility: Highly compatible with other anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants.

6. Quality Assurance & Regulatory Confidence

• Our manufacturing facility is ISO 9001/22000 and HALAL certified.

• We strictly adhere to COSMOS approved standards, ensuring our biosurfactants meet natural and organic cosmetic criteria.

• Every batch of our cosmetic grade Rhamnolipids is provided with a full technical dossier, including COA, TDS, and MSDS.

7. Recommended Synergistic Combinations

• Rhamnolipids + Sodium DNA: For a regenerative cleansing experience that repairs while it purifies.

• Rhamnolipids + Allantoin: To maximize soothing effects in “extra-mild” facial washes for hyper-reactive skin.

• Rhamnolipids + Pro-Xylane: To create a luxury anti-aging cleanser that maintains skin density during the washing process.

8. Typical Applications & Success Stories

• This ingredient is a core component in “Micellar Waters,” “Sulfate-Free Shampoos,” “Gentle Baby Washes,” and “Eco-Friendly Face Cleansers”.

• Brands utilizing our high-purity active ingredients skincare have successfully launched “Green Chemistry” lines that outperform synthetic competitors in dermatological mildness tests.

9. Scientific Evidence & Literature Support

• Scientific studies confirm that rhamnolipids have a significantly lower Skin Irritation Score than traditional surfactants like SDS.

• Internal lab data confirms that Rhamnolipid-based cleansers result in 30% less Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) compared to standard sulfate-based formulas.
