Popis: The effect of chitosan concentration on the properties of dermatological preparations prepared with 2% methylcellulose and 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone was studied. As the levels of chitosan, propylene glycol-1,2 and glycerol increased, the hardness, consistency and cohesiveness of the hydrophilic gels increased, while the dissipation capacity decreased. Gels based on methylcellulose and chitosan, compared to formulations containing polyvinylpyrrolidone, have a higher rate of loss of volatile compounds, higher pH values for 1,2-propylene glycol formulation and higher texture parameters. The tested hydrogels have good rheological properties, allowing extrusion from the tube and spreading on the skin.
