ABOUT US
Company Profile
EmulGreen is a Canadian-German green chemistry startup that pushes towards a more sustainable chemicals sector. Our current focus lies on emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are compounds that bind oil and water. As a rule of thumb, 70 % of all everyday consumables contain emulsifiers. A world without them would mean a world without shampoo, chocolate or even important medication.
Our Value Proposition
High-performance emulsifiers
based on natural resources that
give enhanced emulsion properties
Natural Resources
Our emulsifiers
- are based on agricultural and forestry feedstocks
- avoid ecotoxicity issues
- follow the Cradle2Cradle principle
- are produced based on the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
- give your company the chance to fulfill your commitments to sustainability / environmental policies and leverage end-consumer satisfaction.
High Performance
Customers who use our products
- need up to 90 % fewer emulsifier quantities
- can avoid co-stabilizers in their formulations
- can avoid formulation foaming problems
Enhanced Emulsion Properties
Customers who use our products can produce emulsions with
- heat resistance
- cold resistance
- pH resistance
- enhanced shelf life
OUR PRODUCTS
EmulGreen emulsifiers
- are derived from plants, follow the Cradle2Cradle principle (biodegrade) and avoid ecotoxicity issues
- are extremely effective and, therefore, significantly lower the required quantities to make emulsion-based products
- show the potential to eliminate the addition of co-stabilizers
- lead to extended emulsion shelf life
- give emulsions with enhanced heat, cold and pH resistance
- prevent formulation foaming problems
- contribute to a lower carbon footprint
- are mild to the skin

Our product portfolio
EmulGreen currently offers three demonstration products that have been proven in the laboratory environment. We are producing at our R&D facility in Ontario, Canada.
Our emulsifiers have been primarily developed for the cosmetics market, but they are suitable for every other industry.
GreenField Ⅰ
Our standard product that allows your company to shift towards a more renewable production while significantly reducing emulsifier quantities. GreenField I is designed for smaller businesses or low margin industries that aim to implement green chemicals.
- Conventional technology
- Agriculture-based feedstocks
GreenField Ⅱ
GreenField II is your companies first step towards implementing a new emulsifier technology* that allows you to use up to 90 % less emulsifier and avoid the addition of co-stabilizers in your formulations. With GreenField II you can avoid formulation foaming problems and obtain enhanced emulsion properties such as pH and temperature resistance.
- EmulGreen Technology
- Agriculture-based feedstocks
GreenWoods Ⅰ
Currently in development.
- EmulGreen Technology
- Forestry-based feedstocks
EmulGreen uses a proprietary technology to make a new type of more efficient emulsifiers.
When using conventional emulsifiers, a significant amount is lost to the water phase and not absorbed at the oil/water interface. This does not occur with EmulGreen products
EmulGreen clearly shows that green is better.
