Discover SFA Formulator and its benefits

The SFA Formulator

Design sustainable and performing liquid rinse-off formulations based on our innovative SFA surfactants. The SFA Formulator predicts for you the right solution meeting your requirements and makes your lab work easier. 

SFA (Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate) is an innovative, sustainable and naturally derived anionic surfactant. It is versatile and can be used in all kind of personal care rinse-off applications (shampoo, shower gels etc.) and formats (liquid and/or waterless).

In liquid rinse off formulations, SFA expresses its performance the best when it is combined with co-surfactants, especially CAPB (Cocamidopropyl Betaine) and/or APG (Alkypolyglucoside).


This tunable surfactant system SFA/CAPB/APG leads you to a wide range of possibilities for your formulation!

SFA Formulator is the perfect solution to shorten the time to market for your next generation of shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps and much more liquid rinse-off products! This digital service instantly predicts for you the best SFA/CAPB/APG surfactant system that matches to your requirements!
