Chitin Beta-Glucan 100 g

Chitin Beta Glucan for Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals

Chitin Beta Glucan is a multifunctional biopolymer of natural origin, obtained from mushrooms, marine organisms, or fermented plant-based sources. It combines two powerful ingredients: chitin, known for its film-forming and protective properties, and beta-glucan, a proven immunomodulating and regenerative polysaccharide. This synergy makes Chitin Beta Glucan an outstanding active for a wide range of applications in skincare, pharma, functional food, wound care, and eco-packaging.

At Mylo Opt, we offer a high-purity, water-dispersible Chitin Beta Glucan suitable for professional and industrial formulations, with international delivery and wholesale options worldwide.
