A Lab-Grown Powerhouse Ingredient Essential For State-of-The-Art Skin Care Products

Ectoin is a natural molecule belonging to the group of extremolytes, which are substances produced by extremophilic microorganisms that thrive in harsh environments like salt lakes, deserts, and polar ice. These microorganisms use Ectoin to protect themselves from extreme conditions such as high UV radiation, dryness, and salinity.

Ectoin forms a protective Hydro-Complex around cells, helping to maintain the stability and integrity of cellular membranes. This shield prevents stress-induced damage by binding water molecules, thus preserving cellular hydration and stopping inflammatory processes.

Ectoin® natural is a 100% natural and safe multifunctional cosmetic active ingredient with outstanding protection, repair and anti-aging properties. Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies prove the extraordinary efficacy of Ectoin® natural while various certifications underline its safety and sustainability.
