Application

Chitosan from shrimp shells serves as a versatile and valuable polysaccharide with a multitude of applications. Primarily known for its capacity to aid in moisture retention and skin conditioning, chitosan effectively prevents transepidermal water loss while enhancing the softness and suppleness of the skin. Its film-forming property makes it an excellent ingredient in cosmetics such as moisturizers, sunscreens, and acne treatments, as well as in hair care products. Renowned for its antibacterial properties and ability to improve the microbiological stability of preparations, chitosan also contributes to the water-resistance of sunscreens and extends the longevity of fragrances by allowing them to adhere better and evaporate more slowly from the skin. Beyond cosmetic applications, chitosan is distinguished by its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and the presence of numerous -NH2 groups, which enable it to chelate heavy metal ions. This cationic polymer is integral in various pharmaceutical formulations, enhancing drug delivery systems with uses in controlled and rapid release forms, mucoadhesive and colonic drug delivery, and even gene delivery. Modern processing techniques such as spray-drying, coacervation, and granulation allow chitosan to be crafted into gels, films, beads, and tablets, showcasing its adaptability in medical and cosmetic industries.
