resilient skin powered by marine chitosan
our mission
ChitoCare beauty was created to bridge the gap between clinical science and everyday skincare. We recognised a growing need: skin that is increasingly stressed, over-treated, and dehydrated requires more than trend-driven formulas. Our mission is simple — restore resilience.
Our brand was born out of a respect for the ocean. Heeding the call for a more sustainable and circular industry and following years of research, we harnessed the natural biopolymer chitosan. Abundantly found in the Arctic waters and backed by science, we are proud to reveal the benefits chitosan has on the skin, to help you feel the natural beauty of Iceland.
ChitoCare beauty and ChitoCare medical are produced by Primex ehf. in Siglufjörður, North Iceland.

Deep hydration, lasting barrier protection
anti-aging repair serum
Most anti-ageing serums rely on aggressive actives that thin or sensitise the barrier. ChitoCare uses pharmaceutical-grade Icelandic chitosan, which:
✔ Forms a breathable, protective micro-film
✔ Supports microbiome balance
✔ Prevents bacterial culturing (without stripping skin)
✔ Enhances absorption of other actives
✔ Does not oxidise or destabilise
This makes it ideal for reactive, hormonally changing, and compromised skin.
nutrient-rich, beauty from within
hair, skin & nails
With time, reduced antioxidant defence, sun damage, daily stressors and environmental factors can cause skin to lose its natural elasticity and glow. Skin becomes less supple, nails can become brittle and hair can lose its original thickness and shine.
A clinical study of Hair, Skin & Nails, conducted by a leading European skin laboratory specializing in independent skin research, revealed that 12 weeks of treatment with Hair, Skin & Nails makes the skin:
✔ Smoother
✔ Better moisturized
✔ Firmer
An ingestible supplement that works systemically to reduce inflammation and support skin barrier health from within, it supports collagen integrity, skin elasticity, hair strength and hair resilience.

The best day cream, and the advantage is
that it has good protection against the sun's rays.

I definitely recommend Hair, Skin & Nails. My hair feels more vibrant immediately even though I haven't been taking the capsules for a long time.
