Our ingredients

  • Agarea

    Substantive protective film formation

    Agarea® is KitOzyme's high molecular weight fungal chitosan for intensive conditioning and protective hair care formulations. At an appropriate formulation pH, its cationic character promotes electrostatic adsorption onto the negatively charged sites on the hair surface. This affinity is particularly relevant for damaged or chemically treated hair. Once deposited, Agarea® forms an adherent film that helps smooth the hair surface, reduce static, and improve manageability.
