GlycoSurf, Inc. operates in chemical manufacturing, developing specialty biosurfactants derived from rhamnose-containing glycolipids. The company uses a synthetic manufacturing process to produce high-purity materials (>95%), which are non-toxic, biodegradable, and chemically tailorable for a range of applications. These biosurfactants are used in cosmetic and cosmeceutical personal-care products and have broader potential in areas such as microbial enhanced oil recovery, pharmaceuticals, antibacterial and antiviral applications, biofilm control, and medical device cleaning. The approach aims to offer cost advantages over conventional extraction methods used for rhamnolipids. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, GlycoSurf was founded in 2013 and operates as a small specialty chemicals company. In March 2026, it expanded its facilities to Tucson, Arizona, appointed Chett Boxley as Chief Executive Officer, and secured an exclusive license for a University of Arizona–developed glycolipid synthesis technology.
