Applications of Cosmetic Grade Chitosan 

Moisturizing and Repair

Chitosan possesses strong moisturizing capabilities. Its hydrophilic groups can adsorb large amounts of water, forming a moisturizing film that locks in moisture and prevents evaporation. When the skin barrier is damaged (e.g., after medical-aesthetic treatments), it promotes the regeneration of epidermal cells, accelerates wound healing, and inhibits inflammatory reactions, shortening the recovery period.

Adsorption of Heavy Metals and Harmful Substances

Residual heavy metals (such as lead, mercury) or hormonal components in cosmetics are adsorbed by the cationic groups of chitosan and metabolized, reducing skin irritation. This characteristic makes it a preferred ingredient for sensitive skin and oily, acne-prone skin.

Application Forms

Cosmetic grade chitosan is commonly found in skincare products such as serums, masks, and repair creams. Some high-end brands utilize nano-chitosan technology to enhance transdermal absorption effects.
