Ectoin is derived from Halomonas elongata, a desert halophilic bacterium that grows in Egypt's desert salt lakes and gives it the ability to survive in desert salt lakes.

Uses: Ectoin is used in the healthcare, life sciences and cosmetics industries. It is widely used in daily chemical products. Because it is mild and non-irritating, it has the best moisturizing power and no greasy feeling. It can be added to all kinds of skin care products, such as toner, sunscreen lotion, cream, mask liquid, spray, repair liquid, cosmetic water and so on.

Efficacy: Ectoin : Moisturizing, Repairing and Regenerating

1) Powerful UV Resistor

It has a comprehensive protective effect on the entire solar spectrum at the cellular level. Protect the number of epidermal melanocytes in human skin exposed to ultraviolet rays, so that epidermal melanocytes are protected from damage caused by ultraviolet rays to prevent photoaging.

2) Strong thermal protectants

Ectogene accelerates the expression of heat shock protein (hsp) to prevent and repair skin cell damage caused by high temperature.

3) Powerful inflammation blockers

Ectoin can effectively inhibit the degradation of IκB-α and the expression of related inflammatory factors, thus inhibiting LPS (bacterial lipopolysaccharide)-induced inflammatory response.

4) Protect cell membranes from surface damage

Ectoin enhances the stability of cell membranes; reduces the damage of surface activity to skin cells in cleansing products; enhances the barrier function of the stratum corneum and reduces TEWL (transdermal water loss).

5) Long-term moisturizing without premature aging Long-term moisturizing without premature aging

The dense charge distribution on the surface of Ectoin molecule endows it with excellent hydrophilicity and the ability to promote the formation of water structure, effectively reduce water activity, promote the formation of ice-crystal-like water structure; strengthen water structure, long-term moisture retention; ice muscle freezing age, bid farewell to premature aging.
