Product Introduction

Carboxymethyl Chitosan is a significant water-soluble derivative of chitosan, known for its wide range of medical applications, including aiding in wound healing, promoting hemostasis, preventing scarring, providing pain relief, and exhibiting antibacterial properties. Beyond medicine, it also finds extensive use in the chemical, environmental, and dietary supplement industries. With its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, Carboxymethyl Chitosan is commonly used in hydrogels, wound healing materials, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Additionally, it is easily processed into nanoparticles, which enhances its potential in drug delivery systems, bioimaging, biosensing, and gene therapy.


Product Efficacy & Application

Carboxymethyl Chitosan is widely used in cosmetics due to its diverse biological activities, making it an ideal ingredient for skincare products. Below is a detailed analysis of its applications:

● Moisturizing Effect

Carboxymethyl Chitosan has a strong water absorption capability, forming a protective film on the skin’s surface to reduce water evaporation and maintain skin hydration and softness. Additionally, it promotes the production of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) in the skin, further enhancing its moisturizing capacity. As a result, it is commonly used as a humectant in cosmetics, especially in creams, lotions, and serums.

● Antioxidant Effect

With significant antioxidant properties, Carboxymethyl Chitosan effectively scavenges free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental stressors. Since free radicals are a primary cause of skin aging and various skin issues, its antioxidant action helps delay the aging process and minimizes wrinkles and fine lines. This makes it an essential component in anti-aging and brightening skincare products.

● Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Properties

Carboxymethyl Chitosan inhibits the growth of various bacteria and fungi, reducing the risk of skin infections. Moreover, it alleviates inflammation, soothing redness and pain, which can be beneficial in treating acne and other inflammatory skin conditions. These properties make it widely used in cosmetics aimed at antibacterial and anti-inflammatory needs, such as products for acne-prone or sensitive skin.

● Wound Healing Promotion

Carboxymethyl Chitosan also exhibits wound healing properties by promoting the proliferation and migration of skin cells, accelerating the repair process. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects further reduce the risk of infection, improving wound healing quality. Consequently, it is often included as a key ingredient in repair creams and scar treatment products.

● Other Functions

In addition to the above, Carboxymethyl Chitosan serves as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer in cosmetics, enhancing product texture and stability. It can also synergize with other ingredients to amplify product efficacy. For instance, when used with antioxidants and vitamins, it boosts the anti-aging effects of cosmetic formulations.
