N-Carboxy Propionyl Chitosan Sodium High-Purity Water-Soluble Chitosan Derivative for Cosmetics and Biomedical Use
Overview
N-Carboxy Propionyl Chitosan Sodium is a next-generation, water-soluble derivative of chitosan developed for advanced skincare, wound care, and medical applications. Produced from marine-sourced natural chitosan through controlled carboxylation, it offers enhanced moisturizing, conditioning, and antibacterial performance while maintaining excellent biocompatibility.
This white or off-white powder dissolves quickly in water, producing a clear, stable, and non-toxic solution, making it ideal for formulation into cosmetic products, medical materials, and other personal care applications.
