Biosurfactants That Go Beyond Conventional Surfactant Limits

Where biosurfactants improve formulation performance

The LOCUS ADVANTAGE

Enhances existing surfactant systems

Improves performance at lower loadings

Designed for real-world formulation constraints

As formulation complexity increases, performance depends on controlling interfacial interactions. Locus Ingredient’s biosurfactants function as co-surfactants for formulations, improving how systems behave across surfaces, particles, and phases—delivering measurable gains in wetting, dispersion, and stability without increasing formulation complexity.

Why Conventional Surfactants Fall Short

Traditional surfactant systems have plateaued, with gains tied to tradeoffs in stability, compatibility, and cost. In real-world conditions, variability in salinity, temperature, shear, and formulation chemistry limits interfacial performance.

Maintaining results often requires higher loadings, additional additives, or reformulation—adding complexity without delivering consistent outcomes.

Where interfacial performance matters

Surface chemistry determines performance across formulations—impacting efficiency, stability, and end-use results.
