Summary
Biodegradable microbeads were prepared by reacetylation of chitosan as a direct substitute for synthetic polymer microbeads in cosmetic exfoliators. The chitosan-based beads demonstrated suitable mechanical properties and high cleansing efficiency, offering a viable biodegradable alternative to conventional microplastic microbeads.
Biodegradable microbeads prepared by reacetylation of chitosan are readily applicable to skin exfoliators as substitutes to synthetic polymers with their suitable mechanical properties and high cleansing efficiencies.
