Meet Rhamnolipid

Fermentation, thoughtfully formulated.

The biosurfactant at the heart of JIN cleansing. Made through fermentation, rhamnolipids help water lift away oily residue. Our cleansing system features RHEANCE® One by Evonik.

01 / ORIGIN

Plant sugars

A renewable feedstock for the fermentation process.

02 / TRANSFORMATION

Fermentation

Microorganisms transform sugars into rhamnolipid biosurfactants.

03 / FUNCTION

Cleansing

Water-attracting and oil-attracting parts help oily residue rinse away.

Mildness, examined

A closer look at the ingredient, before the finished formula.

Evonik compares surfactants in a red blood cell assay. A higher L/D ratio indicates greater mildness within this test.

About the test & source

The L/D ratio combines haemolysis and protein denaturation measurements. Values are read from a logarithmic comparison chart; ~10 means approximately 10. They are not consumer gentleness scores or a claim that JIN is a specific number of times gentler. Concentration, pH and other ingredients affect the finished formula.
