Ectoin is derived from microbial extracts under high temperature, high salt, and high ultraviolet environments. It is a cyclic amino acid derivative. Studies have shown that Ectoine has the effects of delaying skin aging, preventing ultraviolet rays, anti-oxidation, and moisturizing.
Ectoin can maintain the balance of osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell and prevent cell dehydration. Ectoin is the most widely distributed compatible substance found in the bacterial kingdom. It is compatible with intracellular metabolism, and does not affect the cell’s biological macromolecular functions or physiological processes. Ectoine also has other important functions. Because of the dense charge of molecular surface, it is easy to bind water molecules to achieve moisturizing effect. Moreover, Ectoin can protect and repair skin.

In 1985, the German scientist Professor Galinski discovered halophilic bacteria in Egyptian desert. Halophilic bacteria will produce a natural protective ingredient in the outer layer of cells under high temperature, dryness, strong UV irradiation, and high salinity. The ingredient is Ectoin. have found There is this kind of “salt-tolerant” bacteria, halophilic bacteria in many high-salt lakes and saline-alkali lands, such as the Chaka Salt Lake and Chaerhan Salt Lake in China. They are also excellent for producing Ectoin. Nowadays, Ectoin is made by biochemical method.

The cyclic structure of ectoin molecules has strong electronegativity. Thus, it is easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, and enhances the associative ability of water molecules. Also,
Ectoin can penetrate deep into the epidermis, which is different from the short-term nature and dependence of other moisturizing agents. It can truly repair skin’s water-locking system, and compensate for the rapid loss of water after low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid is injected.
When skin cells are exposed to environmental pressures, such as high temperature, ultraviolet radiation, hypoxia, heavy metals, viral infections, etc., Ectoin will produce emergency protection and regeneration reactions, and generate heat shock proteins to help each skin cell maintain normal physiological activities. In addition, Ectoin can be used to calm and soothe irritated and damaged skin, and significantly improve the regeneration process of the skin.
Data show that 4.0% ectoine can reduce skin cells sunburn caused by ultraviolet radiation by 80% to 90%.
Ectoin is a powerful ordering substance that can form a barrier around cells, enzymes, proteins and other biological molecules. Due to the existence of the barrier, the skin cells are equivalent to being “armed”, blocking or reducing the stimulation of the skin cells by external stimulating factors, thereby alleviating skin inflammation.
