CHITOSAN GLYCOLATE

Safety grade: A

Chitosan glycolate is a natural ingredient derived from chitin, a substance found in shellfish shells and insect exoskeletons, that has been chemically modified with glycolic acid. It helps protect skin from environmental damage while forming a protective layer on the skin's surface.

This ingredient works as an antioxidant to protect skin from damage, creates a film on the skin to lock in moisture and improve texture, and conditions the skin to make it feel softer and smoother.
