Haircare Dermocosmetics with Microcrystalline Chitosan

Haircare dermocosmetics include shampoos, conditioners, and masks formulated according to dermatological standards: free from SLS and SLES, free from fragrances that irritate the scalp, and enriched with an active ingredient of a documented mechanism of action. In the RegCare line, this ingredient is microcrystalline chitosan: a natural polymer that adheres to the hair's keratin during every wash and remains on it as a protective film, even after thorough rinsing.

Unlike mass-market cosmetics, RegCare haircare dermocosmetics contain no ingredients that mask the true condition of the hair, such as silicones and waxes, which provide a temporary feeling of smoothness but do not improve hair health. Instead, chitosan genuinely strengthens and protects the hair structure with every wash.

What You Will Find in This Section

Hair Shampoos → A shampoo featuring 5% microcrystalline chitosan and biotin. Formulated without SLS and SLES, it gently cleanses the scalp without disrupting its natural balance. Chitosan applies a protective film onto the hair with every wash. Recommended for oily-prone scalps, as well as damaged and color-treated hair.

Hair Masks & Conditioners → The chitosan-infused hair mask intensely hydrates and strengthens the hair structure. The chitosan in the mask works longer than in the shampoo; this prolonged contact with keratin reinforces the protective film. Recommended for dry, chemically treated, brittle, and split hair.

Tailored to Your Hair and Scalp Type

• Damaged and Color-Treated Hair: Chemical processes (coloring, bleaching, perms) open up the hair cuticles and weaken its structure. The chitosan film smoothes the cuticles, reduces end breakage, and helps retain color longer. When used together, the shampoo and mask work in synergy: the shampoo cleanses and applies the base film, while the mask reinforces it along the lengths.

• Oily-Prone Scalp: SLS-free dermocosmetics cleanse the scalp without over-drying it, as aggressive detergents tend to trigger excess sebum production as a defense mechanism. With regular use, chitosan helps maintain a balanced sebum level.

• Sensitive and Irritated Scalp: The absence of fragrances, SLS, and aggressive preservatives ensures that RegCare formulas are highly tolerated by sensitive scalps. The pH of the formula is matched to the natural pH of the scalp, keeping its microflora and protective barrier intact.

• Fine and Limp Hair: Chitosan carries a cationic (positive) charge, which neutralizes static electricity and adds delicate body to the hair without weighing it down. Each strand feels thicker and more resilient, without the greasy heaviness typical of heavy conditioners.

• Dry and Rough Hair: Regular use of the chitosan shampoo restores a feeling of softness and smoothness with every wash. Even with daily care routines, the hair structure is never further weakened.

Microcrystalline Chitosan in Haircare

Microcrystalline chitosan is the only natural polymer with a cationic (positive) charge. Since the keratin that builds hair carries a negative charge, a natural adhesion occurs: chitosan binds to every hair strand after the shampoo is rinsed out, enveloping it in a thin, protective film. This film smoothes the cuticles, reduces frizz and static, and helps seal the structure of damaged or color-treated hair.

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

Our products are created in our proprietary laboratory in Jelnik under Cleanroom ISO 7 purity conditions. We manufacture the microcrystalline chitosan ourselves, which forms the core technology of CHITOMED P.S.A.

Haircare Dermocosmetics FAQ

How do haircare dermocosmetics differ from regular shampoos?

Haircare dermocosmetics are formulated without ingredients that could potentially irritate the scalp, meaning zero SLS, SLES, artificial fragrances, or synthetic dyes. The active ingredient (in RegCare’s case: microcrystalline chitosan) has a documented mechanism of action. The effect is cumulative; the condition of the hair improves with every wash instead of being merely masked for a short time.

Do haircare dermocosmetics help with hair loss?

Hair loss has a wide variety of causes (hormonal, nutritional, genetic, or disease-related), and a cosmetic product cannot eliminate them. RegCare shampoo and masks support a healthy scalp and hair condition, which can reduce shedding triggered by a weakened hair structure or scalp irritation. For severe hair loss, we recommend consulting a trichologist or dermatologist.

How do I choose the right haircare dermocosmetics for my scalp type?

For an oily-prone scalp: use the chitosan shampoo for your daily wash, and apply the mask once a week to the lengths and ends (avoiding the scalp). For a dry and sensitive scalp: wash your hair every 2–3 days, and apply the mask during every wash, leaving it on for 5–10 minutes before rinsing.

Are RegCare haircare dermocosmetics safe for sensitive and atopic skin?

Yes. The absence of SLS, SLES, fragrances, and dyes ensures that the formulas are exceptionally well-tolerated by sensitive scalps. If you have confirmed atopic dermatitis (AD) of the scalp, we recommend consulting a dermatologist to select the optimal care routine.
