Abstract

Chitin nanomaterials and nanocomposites are being used more frequently in tissue repair and skin rejuvenation. In fact, with the increase in age, the prevention of skin diseases became a necessity for our society together with an amelioration of the general body appearance. Thus, while medications have been revolutionized in their structure by the use of biodegradable and nature-oriented non-woven tissues, the use of natural polysaccharides polymers in cosmetics such as beauty masks are becoming increasingly manufactured and sold to the public. This chapter reports the biological properties and applications of biopolymers as well as discussing the physicochemical characteristics and the skin repairing activity of non-woven tissues based on the use of chitin nanofibrils obtained from biomass.
