Product Introduction

Hydroxypropyl Deacetylated Chitosan is a modified natural polysaccharide obtained by introducing hydroxypropyl groups into chitosan molecules and removing some acetyl groups. This modification improves the solubility and functionality of chitosan, making it more widely applicable in fields such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and food packaging.


Product Efficacy & Application

● Moisturizing Property

Hydroxypropyl deacetylated chitosan exhibits excellent moisturizing performance and is commonly used as a humectant, particularly effective in lotion products. It can absorb and retain moisture, forming a protective film to reduce water loss from the skin. This helps maintain skin hydration and softness, improving dryness and leaving the skin smoother and more supple.

● Antibacterial Property

Hydroxypropyl deacetylated chitosan retains the natural antibacterial properties of chitosan, inhibiting the growth of various microorganisms. This makes it useful as a preservative in cosmetics, extending product shelf life and reducing skin issues caused by microbial growth.

● Antioxidant Property

Containing active amino and hydroxyl groups, hydroxypropyl deacetylated chitosan has strong free radical scavenging abilities, protecting cells from oxidative damage. Its antioxidant properties in cosmetics can enhance skin condition and prevent skin aging.

● Thickening and Stabilizing Agent

Hydroxypropyl deacetylated chitosan can also be used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in cosmetics. It improves product viscosity and stability, enhancing texture and application ease, making products easier to spread and absorb.

● Biocompatibility and Safety

With excellent biocompatibility and safety, hydroxypropyl deacetylated chitosan does not irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions, making it suitable for all skin types. Its biodegradability ensures safety in bodily applications, posing no harm to human health.
