Chitosan. CHITOFIX 20™ by Chitelix acts as a film former, humectant, moisturizing, smoothing, anti-aging, purifying and soothing agent. It is a low molecular weight bioactive partially deacetylated chitin (natural polysaccharide). It is designed for dermocosmetic and hair care formulations that prioritize biological activity, enhanced diffusion, and rapid biodegradation. It is derived from crustacean shells (marine origin).
- It supports cellular regeneration, skin renewal, and barrier function, helping improve firmness, elasticity, hydration, and overall skin vitality.
- Its low viscosity, high solubility in acidic systems (pH < 6), and lightweight sensory profile enable effective interaction with the epidermal surface while maintaining minimal impact on formulation rheology.
- Its ability to enhance the bioavailability and controlled release of cosmetic actives makes it particularly suitable for anti-aging serums, repair boosters, pigmentation-correction products, post-procedure care, and sensitive skin formulations.
- It is free from preservatives, antioxidants, solvents, or other additives.
- It improves combability, shine, and hair strength while reducing frizz and the appearance of split ends without causing buildup.
- Its balanced conditioning performance makes it ideal for lightweight conditioners, repair treatments, serums, and flexible styling systems.
- CHITOFIX 20™ is a versatile ingredient for advanced cosmetic formulations requiring skin revitalization, regenerative support, active delivery enhancement, and high-performance conditioning benefits.
- It has a shelf life of 24 months.
