01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Sensitive oils, fragrances and cosmetic actives can lose stability or deliver too quickly when added directly to a formulation.
Chitosan particles and matrices can protect selected actives, change their release and increase residence at the target surface.
Chitosan particles and matrices for protecting cosmetic actives and controlling how they are delivered.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
The polymer's charge, modifiable backbone and ability to form particles make it a versatile carrier for selected oils, fragrances and functional actives.
Without the shell
Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.
Specification engineered
MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.
Application ready
Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.
One technical partner
Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.
03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.
Active protection
Active protection can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished active encapsulation system.
Controlled release
Controlled release can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished active encapsulation system.
Surface-targeted delivery
Surface-targeted delivery can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished active encapsulation system.
04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA
Define the evidence before testing begins.
The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.
Encapsulation efficiency and loading
Particle size and formulation stability
Release profile and retained active performance
05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION
A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.
Define
Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.
Screen
Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.
Validate
Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.
Recommended first request: An encapsulation feasibility screen built around the customer's selected active.
Start the Sample Brief06 · WHY CHITOSAN
Deposition + hydrated film formation
Cationic charge and interfacial adhesion can increase surface residence, while continuous polymer films support moisture management and active carrying.
There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.
Appearance, sensory, stability, preservation and performance are validated in the finished cosmetic formula.
