Frequently Asked Questions
What is NUGLY LB/166R?
It is a low-molecular-weight chitosan oligosaccharide powder offered as a cosmetic-grade raw material for professional skincare and personal-care formulation.
What is the active content?
The current batch tested at 93.32%. The COA minimum specification is 85%, while the product page markets ≥90% purity.
What is its molecular weight?
The COA reports a molecular weight of 755.8 Da, which is below 1 kDa.
What is its degree of deacetylation?
The supplied batch has a reported degree of deacetylation of 90.00%.
Is it water-soluble?
The product page describes it as fully water-soluble, but the supplied COA does not include a measured solubility result. Formulators should verify it in their intended system.
Which cosmetic products can use it?
It may be evaluated in serums, creams, gels, masks, body lotions and other water-based cosmetic systems.
What is the suggested use level?
Supplier-listed starting ranges are 0.2–1% in serums, 0.5–2% in creams, 0.5–3% in masks and 0.2–1.5% in gels.
Is it an anti-aging drug ingredient?
