Ectoin

Ectoin, an amino acid derivative, is currently commercially produced by moderately halophilic bacteria using a "bacterial milking" process. It can not only balance cell osmotic pressure, but also protect enzymes, DNA, proteins, nucleic acids, cell membranes and the whole cell under adverse conditions such as high temperature, cold, drought, extreme pH, high pressure, high salt and high radiation.

Benefits of Ectoin

Deep Moisturizing and Moisture Retention

It forms a molecular hydration shield to lock moisture efficiently, increase skin water content and improve dry and rough skin. It repairs the skin barrier and reduces transepidermal water loss, ideal for dry and sensitive skin.

Anti-photoaging & After-sun Repair

It protects skin against UVA/UVB damage, reduces ultraviolet-induced DNA fragmentation and collagen degradation. It relieves sun erythema, tanning and photoaging, and accelerates the recovery of sunburn-induced redness and stinging.

Anti-inflammation, Anti-allergy & Soothing

It inhibits the release of inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α, blocks allergic reaction pathways, relieves redness, stinging, itching and mucosal irritation. It effectively alleviates discomforts caused by allergic reactions, and improves rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis and hormone-dependent dermatitis.

It also protects fragile mucous membranes of eyes, nasal cavity and throat, reduces hypersensitivity and inflammatory reaction of mucosa, and alleviates dryness, itching, congestion and foreign body sensation.
