Our R&D activities are focused on developing proprietary, patentable technologies that enable the transition away from conventional petrochemical-based ingredients. We work closely with distributors, formulators and brand owners to support product development, regulatory compliance and commercialisation.
Biopolax is committed to delivering practical innovation — solutions that not only meet sustainability expectations, but also perform in real-world applications.

Our ingredients are engineered to meet the evolving needs of the market:

• Derived from renewable, plant-based feedstocks
• Readily biodegradable and designed for low toxicity
• Mild to skin and eyes, supporting modern “free-from” formulations
• Compatible with sulphate-free, ethoxylate-free and low-impact systems
• Designed for ease of formulation, including cold-process compatibility

By combining multiple functions into single ingredients, we help formulators simplify recipes, improve efficiency and reduce overall formulation complexity.

Biopolax develops proprietary ingredients across several product platforms, each structured to serve specific application areas rather than a single fixed chemistry:

• Glucover® — a home care platform encompassing a range of functional ingredients, including liquid and solid systems for degreasing, dispersing, chelating and surface activity enhancement in applications such as kitchen cleaners, laundry and automatic dishwashing
• Sugartend® — a personal care platform designed for mild and effective cleansing systems, supporting applications such as shampoos, body washes, intimate hygiene and facial cleansing
• Dimereco® — a patented surfactant technology platform based on dimeric (Gemini) structures, enabling highly efficient cleansing and emulsification at low use levels
• Catidex® — a range of naturally derived cationic conditioning ingredients for hair and skin care, offering improved substantivity, manageability and mildness

Within each platform, individual grades (e.g. suffixes such as 02NP, LG02 or DDA) define specific chemistries, functionalities and application profiles.

Biopolax is a UK-based developer and manufacturer of advanced, bio-based ingredients for the home care and personal care industries. Operating from London, we focus on translating green chemistry into high-performance, scalable solutions for modern formulations.
Our approach combines carbohydrate chemistry, surfactant science and polymer engineering to create multifunctional ingredients derived from renewable raw materials. These technologies are designed to deliver measurable performance —such as cleaning efficiency, conditioning, emulsification and formulation stability — while supporting regulatory compliance and sustainability targets.
