How do we use surfactants?
For radiant and lasting cleanliness: Persil uses surfactants to ensure the best wash results you expect from the detergent you trust. All our surfactants are fully biodegradable.
Surfactants can be petroleum-based or of natural origin (e.g. palm kernel oil). If palm kernel oil is used as a base, we ensure that this oil is sustainably grown according to the RSPO mass balance model by the end of 2020 as part of our commitment to a cleaner world.
