Product description:
Chitin is a "natural polymer, " or a combination of elements that exists naturally on earth. Usually, polymers are man-made. Chitin is the subject of exciting medical experiments. When applied to human wounds and surgical cloths, it accelerates the skin healing process. An acidic mixture of chitin, when applied to burns, also accelerates the healing process.
