Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved hydration and skin protection in sensitive skin with new hydrogel masks, suggesting their efficacy for daily use.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a chitosan-based hydrogel composite for facial masks that enhance skin hydration and protection.
  • Developed hydrogel composite using varying chitosan concentrations (0.5%, 0.75%, 1%) and nonwoven blend ratios of viscose to banana fibers.
  • Characterized composites for surface morphology, mechanical strength, swelling, air permeability, and antibacterial properties.
  • Conducted FTIR and SEM analyses to confirm composite formation.
  • Higher chitosan concentrations (1%) improved tensile strength to 79.01 N and water absorbency by 298.76%.
  • Enhanced moisture management capability recorded at 0.41, crucial for effective skin hydration.
  • Antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the hydrogel composite suggest its potential for skincare applications.
