From Icelandic marine biotechnology to the treatment room ChitoCare Beauty positions chitosan as a practical way to help co-applied skincare stay in contact with the skin and perform with greater consistency.
Chitosan is a bioadhesive, breathable film that supports hydration, barrier recovery and the performance of actives layered with it.
ChitoCare Beauty is a global pioneer in Chitosan-based skincare, created from Primex Iceland’s marine biotechnology expertise. Primex has manufactured and distributed raw chitosan since 1999 and sustainably produces pure, high-quality marine chitosan from Arctic shrimp shell by-products in Siglufjordur — turning marine waste into a science-led skincare platform.
For doctors and aestheticians, the message is simple: ChitoCare Beauty does not replace an existing routine. It creates a chitosan-rich delivery environment for coapplied or follow-on actives — the active ingredients layered with it — while a thin, flexible contact layer locks hydration and prolongs active contact time.

ChitoCare Beauty does not replace a routine - it helps co-applied actives work harder by creating a Chitosan-rich delivery environment.
WHY IT MATTERS IN PRACTICE
The science is elegant: the skin surface is negatively charged, while Chitosan is positively charged. That charge-driven adhesion allows the serum to form a thin, flexible contact layer rather than behaving like a heavy occlusive. For practitioners, the benefit is straightforward - longer contact time, hydration support and a more receptive setting for actives layered with it.
Core chitosan properties include film-forming hydration, barrier support, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, and high biocompatibility. In the June spotlight, this makes ChitoCare Beauty a persuasive bridge between in-clinic results and the patient's daily routine.
