01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Cosmetic patches must stay in place, manage hydration and release an active without excessive residue or persistent synthetic adhesive.
Chitosan films and hydrogels combine conformability, active loading and tunable adhesion in one biodegradable platform.
Conformable chitosan films and hydrogels for cosmetic patches that stay in contact with the skin.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
Chitosan's cationic and film-forming properties can support patch adhesion, active loading and controlled hydration without relying only on persistent synthetic polymers.
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.
Skin contact
Skin contact can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished bioadhesive patches system.
Active loading
Active loading can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished bioadhesive patches system.
Hydration management
Hydration management can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished bioadhesive patches 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.
Tack, peel strength and residue
Hydration and wear comfort
Active loading, stability and release
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: A patch-format sample with defined tack, wear-time and release objectives.

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.
