    Glossary Chitosan

    natural biopolymer from crustacean shells used in various applications

    Chitosan is a natural biopolymer derived from chitin, which is found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimp and crabs. It has applications in medicine, agriculture, and cosmetics due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to promote wound healing and hair growth.
