 A REVOLUTION
ON THE COSMETICS MARKET
Chitosan Hydrogel is the world's first truly safe, 100%
natural solution for cosmetic products.

Chitosan hydrogel is also an active substance that:

instantly soothes irritated skin
(moisturizes, cools, regenerates and protects),

is a cosmetic base - it replaces a number of

conventional solutions, thanks to which products made
on its basis have:

a uniquely simple and safe composition:

INCI: Aqua, Chitosan, Carbon dioxide.
0% allergens,
0% irritants,
0% phenoksyethanol,
0% parabens,
0% any other preservatives,
0% carbomer and other acrylic derivatives,
0% compounds that are not recommended for pregnant women,
0% petroleum derivatives,
0% propane / butane / isobutane,
0% silicones,
0% PEGs,
0% dyes,
NO PARFUM.

These make, that skin care has never been so SAFE!

“In response to the needs of
conscious consumers.”

that are used (in smaller or larger quantities)
by producers of competing products
and whose use is associated with
an increased risk to consumer health.

WHAT IS
CHITOSAN?

Chitosan, is:
a natural ingredient of marine origin,
obtained from crustacean shellfish, mainly
from krill and shrimp,

a natural ingredient built from

N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine,
which makes it identical to the structure of such
skin components like hyaluronic acid and heparin,
a natural ingredient with numerous biological
activities, making it unlike many available
cosmetic raw materials, exhibits multi-level
mechanism od activity,
used in many industries, including the generation
of new generation of wound dressings, medicines
and dietary supplements.
WHAT IS
CHITOSAN HYDROGEL?

Chitosan Hydrogel, is:

an active substance, obtained according
to patented technology.

Chitosan soluble in pure water.

INCI: Aqua, Chitosan, Carbon dioxide.

Thanks to the use of unique know-how

generated during many years of research
conducted by us in the laboratories of the
Gdańsk University of Technology, we obtained
a stable chitosan gel = chitosan dissolved
in water.
In contrast to other known methods of obtaining
chitosan gels, we do not chemically modify
chitosan and do not use irritating acids.

This innovation has opened new applications

for the well-known natural raw material.
TECHNOLOGY
VERIFIED PRODUCT FOR SKIN
BY THE MARKET IRRITATIONS
‘’Chitozan naturalny Sun’’ is the first product based on
Chitosan Hydrogel, a test product. For the last two
years, it has been successfully used for skin care and
regeneration after various types of irritation in children
and adults, especially after sunburns and insect bites.
Thanks to the unique component, which is Chitosan
Hydrogel (95%) and D-panthenol (5%), it intensively
moisturizes, forms a protective protective layer,
supports the skin regeneration process.

Verified by several thousand users, positively evaluated

by bloggers and reviewers of cosmetic products.

PRODUCT APPLICATION:
Reducing the feeling of tension and itching of the skin,
relieving burns (including sunburn), insect bites,
irritations, abrasions and conditions
inflammatory skin including after: shaving, depilation,
