AmphiStar is a pioneering biotechnology company that develops, scales up, produces, and commercializes sophorolipid biosurfactants fully derived from biobased waste and side streams. These environmentally friendly biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules, making them suitable for a wide range of applications including home care, personal care, cosmetics, industrial cleaners, textiles, and agrochemicals. Known for their excellent wetting, degreasing, and foaming properties—as well as their mildness and non-irritating nature—AmphiStar’s solutions offer a sustainable alternative to conventional surfactants . AmphiStar was founded in 2021 as a spin-off from Ghent University in Belgium, bringing together cutting-edge academic research and real-world industrial applications to drive the green chemistry transition.
