Born from nature, backed by science

With time such a precious commodity in today’s fast-paced world, it’s natural that patients are looking for solutions to minimise downtime and speed up recovery.

Inspired by the natural beauty of Iceland, ChitoCare features the multi-tasking active ingredient chitosan, a natural biopolymer derived from the discarded shells of the Icelandic cold-water shrimp. Scientifically proven to promote skin healing and hydration, its multifunctional properties make it ideal for both cosmetic and medical applications.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and eczemaprone skin, the line up offers superior hydration, skin protection, antioxidant protection and next level skin repair.

• Film-forming: Forms a biocompatible, protective film over the skin to nourish and lock in moisture.
• Skin barrier support: Supports the skin’s natural repair process. Replenishes the 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 use and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin or skin prone to acne, eczema, psoriasis or rosacea.

CHITOCARE KOL DR SOPHIE SHOTTER, PRESIDENT OF BCAM SPEAKS WITH REBECCA BARNES

How and why did you become involved in ChitoCare?
I first became involved with ChitoCare because I was looking for products that combine strong scientific credibility with natural bioactivity. ChitoCare’s foundation in marine biopolymer research—particularly chitosan’s proven regenerative and protective properties —stood out immediately. The brand’s link to sustainable Icelandic marine resources and clinical science aligned perfectly with my approach to evidence-based, ecoconscious aesthetics.

What’s the science behind the range?
ChitoCare is built around chitosan, a bioactive marine polysaccharide derived from chitin found in sustainably-sourced North Atlantic shrimp shells. Chitosan has unique biocompatible, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties. It helps form a breathable protective film on the skin, supports cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, and retains moisture, making it a powerful ingredient for post-procedure care and general skin repair.

What makes the range an industry game changer?
ChitoCare bridges the gap between cosmeceutical skincare and medical-grade wound care. It’s one of the few ranges that is clinically backed and naturally bioactive, offering practitioners a product that supports healing, protection, and rejuvenation simultaneously. The fact that it uses a fully sustainable marine ingredient with measurable biological activity, sets it apart in a market saturated with synthetic formulations.

How they are used in clinic?
ChitoCare products are primarily used for post-treatment care, for example after microneedling, laser therapy, chemical peels, or injectables. They can help to accelerate recovery, reduce redness, and enhance barrier repair. We also often use them during treatment protocols, especially ChitoCare Medical Gel and Spray, to soothe skin and reduce downtime.

What are the key protocols?
Post-procedure recovery: apply ChitoCare Medical Gel immediately after microneedling, laser, or peel. Reapply at home twice daily for 2–3 days. Barrier support & hydration: use ChitoCare Serum and Face Cream daily to maintain moisture balance and skin integrity. Inflamed or sensitive skin: ChitoCare Healing Spray can be used throughout the day to calm irritation and reinforce the skin barrier. All protocols can be made bespoke.

What are the benefits and advantages for aesthetic practitioners?
There are many advantages: reduced downtime and improved healing post procedure means higher patient satisfaction and tolerability. It’s also a clinically supported range using natural actives, which is still a joy to use!

Who does the range best suit and why?
The range is ideal for aesthetic practitioners, dermatologists, and clinics performing advanced skin treatments. From a patient perspective, it suits those with compromised, sensitive, or mature skin, where maintaining barrier integrity and promoting healing are critical.

Which, in your opinion, are the three hero products?
ChitoCare Healing Gel: the go-to for post-procedure recovery and skin repair ChitoCare Anti-Aging Repair Serum: deeply hydrating, strengthens the barrier, and restores glow. ChitoCare Healing Spray: a versatile anti-inflammatory spray that calms and refreshes skin, both in-clinic and at home.
