Interaction between Sophorolipids…n Aqueous Solutions.

Sophorolipids (a natural surfactant) actually prevent beta-glucan from clumping together in solutions, whereas common synthetic surfactants like SDS do the opposite. The sophorolipids achieved this through hydrophobic interactions without damaging beta-glucan's structure—potentially making them better at disrupting the biofilm communities that fuel acne, eczema, and rosacea.
