ChitoCare Skincare FAQs

Discover ChitoCare’s unique approach to Icelandic skincare and the benefits of chitosan for the skin. Explore our FAQs to learn more about its science-led formulas, hydration benefits and how ChitoCare can support a healthy-looking skin barrier.
What is ChitoCare skincare? Plus

ChitoCare is an Icelandic skincare brand combining marine biotechnology with ingredients inspired by Icelandic nature. Its formulas are powered by chitosan, a natural marine biopolymer used to support hydration, skin protection and the skin’s natural barrier.

What is chitosan and why is it used in skincare? Plus

Chitosan is a natural biopolymer derived from chitin. ChitoCare sources its chitosan from cold-water shrimp shells that are a by-product of Iceland’s fishing industry. In skincare, it forms a breathable protective film over the skin, helping to retain moisture while supporting the skin barrier and protecting against environmental stressors.

Is ChitoCare good for dry or dehydrated skin? Plus

ChitoCare can be particularly useful for skin in need of additional hydration. Chitosan has moisture-binding and film-forming properties that help reduce moisture loss, while ChitoCare formulas combine it with complementary hydrating ingredients to leave skin feeling smoother, softer and more comfortable.

Can ChitoCare be used on sensitive skin? Plus

ChitoCare describes its chitosan technology as suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its barrier-supporting and soothing properties make the range particularly relevant for skin that feels dry, compromised or prone to visible redness and irritation. Always check the individual formula if you know you are sensitive to particular ingredients.

What makes ChitoCare different from other skincare brands? Plus

ChitoCare combines Icelandic marine biotechnology with a strong sustainability focus. Its chitosan is produced from discarded shells from the Icelandic fishing industry, transforming a natural by-product into a functional skincare ingredient. The brand uses this technology across formulas designed to support hydration, antioxidant protection and the skin’s natural repair process.
