The Chitocare story
Developed by Primex Iceland, a marine biotechnology innovator and leader in pure, high-quality chitosan, ChitoCare beauty pairs more than 20 years of material expertise with a distinctly modern skincare vision. By harnessing a marine-derived biopolymer sourced from chitin found abundantly in Arctic waters, we turn circular innovation into formulas created for hydration, antioxidant protection and skin comfort.
The Science of Chitosan in Skincare
What Is Chitosan?
Chitosan is a natural biopolymer derived from chitin, which is found abundantly in nature. It is valued in medical and cosmetic fields for its biocompatibility and regenerative properties.
In skincare, chitosan:
- Binds and retains moisture
- Enhances skin barrier protection
- Provides powerful antioxidant action

NATURAL BEAUTY OF ICELAND
Respect for nature is the founding principle of ChitoCare beauty. Heeding the call for a more sustainable and circular economy and following years of research, we have harnessed the natural biopolymer chitosan.
Abundantly found in the Arctic waters around Iceland, our high-quality chitosan is manufactured in-house in Siglufjörður in North Iceland, using an environmentally friendly process.

BACKED BY SCIENCE
Chitosan has scientifically proven properties, including film-forming, moisture control, healing and antioxidant action.
It covers the skin in a breathable film, helping to lock in moisture while keeping aggressors out. It supports the skin's natural repair process, helping to reduce the signs of aging, strengthens the skin's natural defence barrier, and calms the skin, reducing the appearance of redness and irritation.
