01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Hydration masks and patches need conformable films that retain moisture, carry actives and remain comfortable during use.
Mykito tunes MW, DDA, plasticization and blending to create breathable chitosan films around flexibility, tack and moisture transfer.
Thin chitosan films that can hold water and create a conformable, breathable interface on skin.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
Chitosan's film-forming behavior can be tuned through molecular specification, plasticization and blending to support hydration-focused masks, patches and leave-on systems.
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.
Moisture retention
Moisture retention can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished skin-hydration films system.
Conformable surface coverage
Conformable surface coverage can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished skin-hydration films system.
Active-bearing films
Active-bearing films can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished skin-hydration films 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.
Water-vapor transmission and hydration
Flexibility, tack and residue
Active loading 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 cosmetic film sample with defined flexibility and moisture-transfer targets.
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.
