News: HeiQ Chrisal launches next-generation synbiotic laundry liquid with biosurfactants
April 30, 2025
HeiQ Chrisal, a leader in biotech innovation and probiotic cleaning solutions, introduces a new synbiotic laundry liquid enhanced with next-generation biosurfactants, delivering a deep, lasting cleaning performance with a minimal environmental footprint.

HeiQ Chrisal, a leader in biotech innovation and probiotic cleaning solutions, introduces a new synbiotic laundry liquid enhanced with next-generation biosurfactants, delivering a deep, lasting cleaning performance with a minimal environmental footprint.

Combining HeiQ’s proven synbiotics, a powerful combination of beneficial probiotics and prebiotics, with fermentation-derived biosurfactants, the new laundry liquid penetrates textile fibers to lift dirt, oils, and stains, while breaking down odor molecules for long-lasting freshness. Active probiotics continue cleaning for up to five days after washing, while biosurfactants, produced through sustainable fermentation, provide powerful cleaning even at low temperatures, helping to save energy. Supporting both fabric and machine cleanliness, the formula reduces grime buildup inside washers by up to 90% in just two months* and prevents odors without relying on high heat or excess water. Highly concentrated, palm-free, and biodegradable, it offers eco-friendly, cost-effective laundry care while helping to break down allergens in fabrics. “Our relentless quest for sustainable cleaning solutions has led to the fusion of biosurfactants with powerful synbiotic and probiotic technologies, offering consumers a high-performing solution at the forefront of green cleaning,” said Dr. Robin Temmerman, CEO of HeiQ Chrisal. “By moving from plant-based to microbe-based surfactants, we help reduce the pressure on plant resources and promote a more sustainable approach to non-food applications.”

Available for white label and concentrate supply
To meet a variety of business needs, HeiQ Chrisal offers the product both in branded packaging and as white label or concentrate options.
