Third-party testing in selected finished sunscreen formulations.
FUNCTIONAL BIOPOLYMERS FOR PERSONAL CARE
Designed to formulate. Engineered to perform.
Greenitio transforms mushroom-derived chitosan into application-ready functional polymers for sun care, skin care and hair care.
APPLICATION-DRIVEN MATERIALS
A focused portfolio. Distinct formulation roles.
Each Greenitio material is engineered around a defined formulation challenge—from SPF boosting, UV-filter dispersion and emulsion stability to deep moisturisation, conditioning and bioactive care.
Our formulation team helps customers select the right grade, establish a practical starting point and evaluate performance in their own systems.
SUN CARE
Chitosola®
A purpose-built SPF-boosting platform with grades for organic, hybrid and mineral sunscreen systems—combining film uniformity with formulation-specific dispersion and stability benefits.
CHITOSOLA® SPF BOOSTER PLATFORM
SPF boosting, validated in vivo.
Chitosola® is a mushroom-derived chitosan SPF booster platform engineered to improve sunscreen film formation and SPF performance across organic, hybrid and mineral systems. Its water-based format supports lightweight formulation design, while selected grades add dispersion, co-emulsification and stability support.
Supports lightweight sunscreen formats without adding to the oil-phase load.
Depending on grade, combines SPF boosting and film formation with dispersion, co-emulsification and stability support.

Results represent separate finished-formulation examples and are formulation-dependent; they should not be interpreted as a direct head-to-head comparison or as a universal performance factor. Finished sunscreen SPF claims must be established on the final formulation in accordance with applicable requirements.
