RegCare Dermocosmetics for Body Care with Microcrystalline Chitosan

RegCare body dermocosmetics include body lotions, shower gels, and creams formulated according to strict dermatological standards: free from skin-irritating fragrances, harsh detergents, and unnecessary fillers, and enriched with an active ingredient featuring a documented moisturizing mechanism. In the RegCare line, this key ingredient is microcrystalline chitosan, manufactured in the laboratories of CHITOMED P.S.A. in Jelnik. It creates a protective, moisturizing film on the body that lasts even after bathing.

Body care with dermocosmetics differs from using regular lotions because the active ingredient is not entirely washed away; the chitosan binds to the keratin in the epidermis and remains as a protective layer. As a result, the skin becomes more resilient against external factors and less prone to dryness.

What You Will Find in This Section

Body Lotions → Two types of lotions, each available in 200 ml and 500 ml sizes.

• 5% Chitosan Body Lotion: Provides intense hydration and skin barrier support for dry and dehydrated skin.

• SYN-GLOW® Sunny Skin Lotion: A peptide formula featuring chitosan as a carrier for the SYN-GLOW® peptide, designed for skin that requires deep hydration combined with a natural, radiant glow.

Shower Gels → Chitosan-infused body washes formulated without SLS or SLES. Chitosan leaves a protective film on the skin even after rinsing, ensuring the skin feels soft immediately after showering without the need for an additional lotion. Available in 200 ml and 500 ml sizes.

Foot Cream → A regenerative and protective cream combining chitosan with 5% UREA, dedicated to dry, rough foot skin prone to calluses. UREA gently removes dead skin cells and softens calluses, while chitosan hydrates and protects the newly restored skin.

Mouthwash → An oral hygiene dermocosmetic infused with chitosan. Chitosan demonstrates adhesion to enamel hydroxyapatite, creating a protective film over the teeth. Alcohol-free formula.

Target Skin Types

• Dry and Dehydrated Skin: The chitosan lotion creates a moisturizing film on the epidermal surface, limiting transepidermal water loss (TEWL) for many hours after application. The skin becomes soft without any greasy residue. For extremely dry skin, choose the 5% Chitosan Lotion for more intensive action.

• Sensitive and Reactive Skin: RegCare body dermocosmetics are free from fragrances, artificial colorants, and parabens. Their physiological pH ensures that your body care routine does not irritate even highly reactive skin. Suitable for atopic skin with daily use.

• Atopic and Chronically Dry Skin: As a hypoallergenic ingredient with zero irritation potential, chitosan supports the maintenance of the epidermal barrier—which is crucial for atopic skin, where the barrier is chronically weakened. The SLS-free shower gels cleanse gently without causing further damage to the lipid barrier.

• Rough Foot Skin with Calluses: A powerful synergy of 5% UREA (keratolytic agent) and chitosan (hydration) in our foot cream. UREA softens and removes callused skin, while chitosan hydrates and strengthens the restored skin layer. For the best results, apply in the evening after bathing onto clean feet.

Microcrystalline Chitosan in Body Care

In body care products, chitosan works through bioadhesion—it binds to the keratin in the epidermis during washing or after lotion application, remaining as a protective, moisturizing film. It contains no mineral oils or silicones; the skin's softness results from genuine, deep hydration rather than masking the true condition of the epidermis.

The microcrystalline chitosan used by RegCare is manufactured in the laboratories of CHITOMED P.S.A. in Jelnik, allowing the manufacturer to control every single step from raw material to the finished product.

RegCare products are developed in our own laboratory in Jelnik under ISO 7 cleanroom conditions. We manufacture the microcrystalline chitosan ourselves—it is the core of CHITOMED P.S.A. technology.

FAQ: Body Dermocosmetics

How do body dermocosmetics differ from regular lotions?

Body dermocosmetics are formulated without potential irritants (such as fragrances, colorants, or harsh preservatives) and feature an active ingredient with a documented moisturizing mechanism. A lotion with microcrystalline chitosan leaves a protective film on the skin that limits transepidermal water loss, whereas a regular lotion typically provides only a short-lived moisturizing effect without long-term benefits for the skin barrier.

Can RegCare body dermocosmetics be used on atopic skin (eczema)?

Yes. The formulas are hypoallergenic and completely free from fragrances, colorants, parabens, and SLS. The physiological pH and the absence of harsh detergents ensure that RegCare products are exceptionally well-tolerated by atopic skin. During acute flare-ups of atopic dermatitis (AZS), we recommend consulting a dermatologist.

How do I choose between the 5% Chitosan Lotion and the SYN-GLOW® Lotion?

Both lotions are available in 200 ml and 500 ml sizes.

• Choose the 5% Chitosan Lotion if you have extremely dry or dehydrated skin; the high concentration of chitosan creates an intensive moisturizing film that prevents transepidermal water loss for hours.

• Choose the SYN-GLOW® Sunny Skin Lotion if your skin needs hydration combined with a natural, illuminating effect. In this formula, microcrystalline chitosan acts as a carrier for the SYN-GLOW® peptide, and the blend is enriched with shea butter, plant oils, panthenol, and allantoin to support skin elasticity and barrier function.
