Born from nature, backed by science

With over 20 years of expertise in chitosan production and extensive research and development, Primex launched ChitoCare beauty, the world’s first skincare brand to incorporate premium-quality chitosan into its formulations.

The power of chitosan: A multi-tasking active ingredient
Chitosan, a natural biopolymer derived from Icelandic cold-water shrimp shells, has been scientifically proven to promote skin healing, hydration, and protection. Its multifunctional properties make it a remarkable active for both cosmetic and medical applications.
Thanks to chitosan’s versatility, years of research, and advanced marine biotechnology, ChitoCare continues to develop targeted solutions that address specific skin concerns, delivering results that are both natural and effective.

Chitosan benefits in skincare:
Film-forming: Forms a biocompatible, protective film over the skin to lock in moisture and nourish the skin.

Skin barrier support: Supports the skin’s natural repair process. Replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier, contributing to firmness and elasticity for an overall youthful appearance.

Antioxidant action: Provides antioxidant fortification to protect the skin from the effects of environmental, oxidative and UV damage.

Biocompatible: Ideal for daily skin treatment, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin or skin prone to conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis or rosacea.

“Respect for nature is the founding principle of ChitoCare beauty. We are thankful for chitosan, a true wonder of the sea, and its ability to naturally help unleash smooth, firm, and youthful-looking skin,”
Sigga Vigfúsdóttir, CEO and founder of ChitoCare beauty.
