Bioterge AS-90
Bioterge AS-90 is a versatile cleansing ingredient that can be used to create effective, rich, and luxurious handmade personal-care products. It is especially useful for formulators looking to create shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand washes, and other cleansing products with a pleasant and conditioning feel.
When incorporated into a properly formulated product, Bioterge AS-90 helps provide cleansing performance while contributing to the overall texture and sensory experience of the finished formula. It can be used on its own in certain formulations or combined with other surfactants to create a balanced cleansing system.
What Is Bioterge AS-90?
Bioterge AS-90 is a concentrated surfactant commonly used in personal-care and cleansing formulations. Surfactants are ingredients that help lift oils, dirt, sweat, and other impurities from the skin or hair so they can be rinsed away with water.
Its versatility makes it a useful ingredient for handmade formulators who want to create customized cleansing products rather than relying solely on pre-made bases.

Why Use Bioterge AS-90?
One of the biggest advantages of Bioterge AS-90 is its versatility. It can be combined with other compatible surfactants to create different cleansing systems, allowing you to customize your formula according to the type of product you are making.
It can also be useful when developing formulas where you want to balance cleansing performance with a pleasant skin or hair feel. By combining it with complementary surfactants, conditioning ingredients, thickeners, humectants, and other formulation ingredients, you can create products tailored to different needs.
Suggested Usage Rate
A general starting range for Bioterge AS-90 is approximately 5–30%, depending on the product, the desired cleansing strength, and the concentration of the finished formulation.
For a milder product, you may begin toward the lower end of the range and adjust as needed. Stronger cleansing formulas may require a higher amount, but the final percentage should always be determined based on the complete surfactant system and the manufacturer's technical information for your specific material.
Always calculate your total active surfactant matter, especially when combining multiple surfactants, since the raw material percentage and active surfactant percentage are not necessarily the same.
Great for Custom Formulation
Bioterge AS-90 gives handmade formulators flexibility when developing their own cleansing products. It can be paired with other surfactants to help create the desired foam, cleansing level, viscosity, and skin or hair feel.
For example, formulators may combine cleansing surfactants with conditioning agents such as Polyquaternium-10, humectants such as glycerin, and appropriate thickeners to develop a more complete shampoo or body-wash formula.
Perfect for Handmade Products
Whether you're making products for yourself, experimenting with new formulas, or building a handmade personal-care collection, Bioterge AS-90 is a useful ingredient for your formulation shelf.
It can be used to create customized cleansing products with your preferred fragrances, colors, conditioning ingredients, and other compatible additives.
Formulation Tips
When working with concentrated surfactants, add ingredients carefully and mix gently to minimize excessive foaming during production. The order of addition can also affect the final texture and appearance of your product.
Always test your formula in a small batch before producing a larger quantity. Check the final product for pH, viscosity, appearance, stability, cleansing performance, and overall skin or hair feel.
Because every formulation is different, your final usage rate may need to be adjusted depending on the other ingredients being used.
Create Your Own Cleansing Products
From everyday shampoos and body washes to customized facial cleansers and foaming products, Bioterge AS-90 gives you a flexible starting point for creating your own handmade cleansing formulas.
Formulate. Customize. Create products that are uniquely yours.
