KitoZyme has developed its innovative KiOsmetine™ range of biopolymers in order to meet the needs of natural cosmetics professionals looking for vegetal-based active ingredients that are safe, effective and environmentally friendly.

The range comprises high-quality, hypoallergenic ingredients, offering a unique combination of properties sought after in contemporary cosmetic formulations:

  • Moisturising properties
    KitoZyme
    's tests have revealed the high moisturising power of its KiOsmetine™ range ingredients.
  • Regenerating, wound-healing and anti-ageing properties
    With its biopolymers already tried and tested in the medical field, KitoZyme has developed its Ki
    Osmetine™ range with a view to extending their use to cosmetic applications.
  • Antimicrobial properties
    The quality of a cosmetic product depends, amongst other things, on its level of microbial contamination. This is practically non-existent at the time of purchase, but the more the product is used and the longer it is kept, the higher the levels of contamination become. Microorganisms alter the quality and effectiveness of the cosmetic as well as its smell, colour, texture and the risk that it may damage the skin.
    Ki
    Osmetine™ is a valuable alternative to the antimicrobial preservatives derived from petrochemicals, which can trigger allergies, affect hormones and pollute the natural environment.
    Ki
    Osmetine™ opens the way to formulations free of chemical preservatives, in which these and other natural antimicrobials work together to guarantee maximum safety and effectiveness.
  • Thanks to the combined actions of KitoZyme's biopolymers, the number of active principles contained in products can be reduced
The active ingredients in the KiOsmetine™ range can be used in a variety of applications including moisturising and anti-wrinkle creams, deodorising products, hair conditioners and oral hygiene products.
Together with a number of laboratories, KitoZyme is developing formulations that use the active ingredients of the Ki
Osmetine™ range and also demonstrate their effects, quality (toxicological and microbiological studies), harmlessness and hypoallergenicity.
KitoZyme's aim is to provide effective, cost-efficient, 'clean' ingredients derived from renewable raw materials.

The development of KitoZyme's biopolymers requires no cumbersome technological or chemical processes, uses little energy and generates no pollution.
