Forty miles off the cost of northern Iceland, the clear Arctic waters run deep, and marine life is abundant.  Prized on the plates of some the world’s most coveted restaurants, Pandalus borealis are fished here for human consumption, but it is their delicate shells (discarded in processing) that contain one of the world’s most exciting skin rejuvenating ingredients – Chitosan.

With over 20 years of marine biotechnology research, Icelandic scientists have harnessed the incredible power of chitosan – an ingredient with a unique ability to create an invisible, breathable shield over the skin. This natural bioactive film locks in moisture, soothes inflammation and enhances the skins resilience against daily stressors like pollution and dehydration. Used for years in the medical community for healing diabetic ulcers, burns and many types of scars, the most potent form of Chitosan in the world, is now available in an innovative Icelandic biotech skincare brand ChitoCare.

ChitoCare’s targeted skincare line, which features unctuous Anti-Aging Day and Night Creams, a lightweight Anti-Aging Eye Cream and my personal favourite, a gel like Anti-Aging Repair Serum, has been designed to improve multiple signs of ageing and improving skin health. Using a sustainable process to remove allergens, this range is suitable for all skin types (and allergy studies show no skin reactions for people with fish or crustacean allergies). Indeed, the range is highly soothing and anti-inflammatory. ChitoCare Beauty’s Anti-Aging Repair Serum is at the heart of the range, designed to boost hydration, improve skin firmness and enhance overall skin resilience. Harnessing Icelandic chitosan’s protective and restorative properties, this advanced formula has gained recognition among skincare professionals and beauty enthusiasts alike for its ability to calm redness, deeply hydrate and promote a naturally radiant complexion.

This year the ChitoCare Beauty range will be rolled out at the country’s top cosmetic Clinics as it the perfect partner to expediate superficial wound healing after IPL, laser and microneedling treatments.
