Fragrances encapsulation

Vegetal chitosan

KiOsmetine offers biodegradable and vegetal alternatives in the fragrance encapsulation

Chitosan has been widely used in the last years as it presents a great number of properties like biocompatibility, degradation and non toxicity that makes it ideal for cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields. The benefits of encapsulating fragrance molecules not only rely on enhancing the durability of the aroma but also controlling when the perfume have to be released. Brand owners and industries are encountering more and more difficulties with animal-derived chitosan from shrimp or crab in cosmetics applications. The reasons are mainly due to allergenicity, vegetarian or vegan products booming expectations and reliability and sustainability of the production. KiOsmetine can replace melamine formaldehyde technology or replace fish gelatin in complex coacervation for instance.
