About NatSurFact
What is NatSurFact?
NatSurFact is a Rhamnolipid-based line of BioSurfactant products.
Rhamnolipids are a naturally occurring class of compounds that have surface active (surfactant) properties. In nature, many species of single-celled organisms produce rhamnolipids to help them survive. The NatSurFact Team is harnessing these organisms to produce rhamnolipids efficiently in order to help us live better lives, too. Rhamnolipids are made up of fats and sugars – which is a big part of the reason they have such good environmental and safety characteristics.
Green and Renewable
NatSurFact is made from a renewable source – vegetable oil – in a natural fermentation process. It is mild when we use it to wash our skin, hair, or home, and does not hurt the environment. NatSurFact is environmentally friendly in all phases of its lifecycle.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create innovative chemical solutions for a cleaner, healthier, more energy-efficient world. And with that, we will continue to offer environmentally advantageous products to the market.
Agriculture
Wastewater Treatment

Rhamnolipids, the main ingredients in NatSurFact, have been shown to improve wound healing. Other potential medical applications are also being investigated.
How NatSurFact Is Made
In the beginning...
Our natural fermentation process starts with triacylglyceride oil, also known as vegetable oil.
... then nature takes its course.
Our specially selected bacteria efficiently eat the oil and expel NatSurFact rhamnolipids in a vessel similar to one used to make beer.
... TA DA!
We use innovative, proprietary processes to concentrate NatSurFact so that it is ready to make your products great!
