Abstract: (190 Views)
Chitosan biopolymer, due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, has become an ideal candidate for use in a wide range of cosmetic products and has opened up new horizons in the design of cosmetic formulations. The ability of this polymer to electrostatically interact with negatively charged surfaces (such as damaged skin) leads to the formation of polymeric films and ultimately imparts smoothness and moisture to cosmetic products. This review article revisits the potential of chitosan and its derivatives as raw materials in cosmetic and skincare products.
