Bioataraxis is a UK-based deep-tech company and Imperial College London spin-out developing breakthrough bio-based surfactant technologies for the home care, personal care, and industrial markets. Our mission is to accelerate the transition away from fossil-derived chemicals by creating high-performance, sustainable ingredients from renewable biomass.

At the heart of our innovation is EcoSAF® (Sulfonated Alkyl Furoates), a novel class of surfactants produced from agricultural residues and non-food biomass feedstocks. By introducing renewable aromatic functionality into surfactant structures, EcoSAF® delivers exceptional cleaning performance, enhanced formulation efficiency, and a significantly improved sustainability profile compared with conventional surfactants.

Our technology is built on years of research in green chemistry, catalysis, biomass valorisation, and formulation science. We are pioneering a new generation of renewable surfactants that combine excellent detergency, foaming, emulsification, and formulation versatility with reduced environmental impact. EcoSAF® is designed for a broad range of applications including laundry detergents, household cleaners, shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, and industrial cleaning systems.

At Bioataraxis, we believe sustainability should not require a compromise in performance. Our platform enables formulators to achieve superior cleaning and consumer experience while supporting decarbonisation goals, reducing reliance on petrochemicals, and increasing the use of renewable carbon in everyday products.

Beyond product development, we are committed to advancing the wider bioeconomy. By creating high-value applications for biomass-derived molecules, we aim to stimulate upstream innovation in renewable chemical manufacturing and contribute to the development of more circular, resilient supply chains.
