Skinactive CMC

Skinactive CMC, Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), is a water-soluble derivative of chitosan, which is a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin. CMC is made by reacting chitosan with carboxymethyl groups. The reaction is catalyzed by an acid, such as hydrochloric acid. The resulting product is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water and alcohol.

Benefits of CMC for skincare:

Moisturizing: Skinactive CMC is a humectant, which means that it attracts water to the skin. This helps to keep the skin hydrated and prevent it from drying out.

Antibacterial: Skinactive CMC has antibacterial properties. This means that it can help to kill bacteria that can cause acne and other skin infections.

Wound healing: Skinactive CMC can help to promote wound healing. This is because it can help to form a protective barrier over the wound and prevent infection.

Adhesive: Skinactive CMC can be used as an adhesive. This is because it can form strong bonds between different surfaces.

Film-forming: Skinactive CMC can form a thin, clear film on the skin. This film can help to protect the skin from the environment and prevent moisture loss.

Antioxidant: Skinactive CMC has antioxidant properties. This means that it can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Emulsifying: Skinactive CMC can help to stabilize emulsions, which are mixtures of oil and water. This makes it a useful ingredient in a variety of cosmetic products, such as lotions, creams, and sunscreens.
