Technical Details & Test Data

Film Forming Capacity

KiOsmetine forms viscous solution in various organic acids Able to make biodegradable functional films. The cationic properties of chitosan also offer the possibility of electrostatic interactions with other anionic polysaccharides.

This film-forming capacity leads to several benefits such as maintaining hydration, protection of the skin barrier or the hair surface, muco-adhesion but also antimicrobial

Encapsulation

KiOsmetine offers vegetal / biodegradable alternatives to existing systems. It can replace melamine formaldehyde technology Or replace fish gelatin in complex coacervation for instance.

We have partners who are able to create stable particles from 50 microns, encapsulation fragrances or other ingredients. Open cooperation is possible.
