Ectoin

1) Basic information
Product Name: Ectoin
Synonyms: Ecdoine
CAS No.: 96702-03-3

2) What’s Ectoin/ Ecdoine ?
In 1985, Professor Galinski found in the Egyptian desert that desert halophilic bacteria would generate a natural protective component – Ectoin – in the outer layer of cells under high temperature, dry, strong UV irradiation and high salinity, thus opening the self-repair function. In addition to deserts, the fungus is also found in saline-alkali land, salt lakes, and sea water.

3) What’s the main function of Ectoin/ Ecdoine?
3.1) Protection, prevention, repair, moisturizing and regeneration for skincare.

3.2) The excellent stability and protection of Ectoin brings visible and long-term anti-aging effects to our skin. Clinical studies have shown that skin conditions continue to enhance, such as increasing elasticity and reducing wrinkles or skin roughness. By repairing the skin, restoring and regulating the skin’s moisture content, Ectoin reduces TEWL (transdermal water loss), improves hydration, and retains skin moisture for 7 days without reuse;

3.3) In addition, Ectoin also calms and soothes irritated and damaged skin. The regeneration process of the skin is significantly increased. Due to its excellent anti-inflammatory properties, Ectoin is even used to treat atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis) or allergic skin diseases;

3.4) Ectoin was shown to be able to 100% protect epidermal immune cells called “epidermal melanocytes” from damage.

4) How does the Ectoin/ Ecdoine work?
4.1) In addition to the skin’s antioxidant defense, epidermal melanocytes help protect the skin by recognizing antigens and inducing antibody defense responses. Epidermal melanocytes are sensitive to external stressors. A decrease in the number of epidermal melanocytes is a sign of skin damage and aging. Ectoin protects the number of epidermal melanocytes in UV-exposed human skin, thereby reducing UV-induced cellular immunosuppression. Ectoin prevents photoaging by protecting epidermal melanocytes from damage caused by ultraviolet light. Studies have shown that 0.5% of Ectoin protects 100% of epidermal melanocytes. Uv stress did not destroy the epidermal melanocytes in the ectoin-treated area! 100% protection for 0 damage.

4.2) Ectoin protects halophilic bacteria from damage, and it also named as 4-pyrimidincarbonsure, which is a natural and effective cosmetic active ingredient. Due to its broad range of cell-protective functions, it can be used in cosmetics with many different functions. 4-pyrimidincarbonsure has moisturizing, anti-oxidant, photo-aging protection, and sun protection effects. Ectoin is widely used in skincare products for its moisturizing and repairing properties and can be used to improve skin tone.

5) How to use Ectoin/ Ecdoine ?
Ectoin is widely used in daily chemical products. Because of its mild, non-irritating, moisturizing force MAX and no greasy feeling, it can be added to various skin care products, such as toner, sunscreen lotion, cream, mask liquid, spray, repair liquid, toner and so on.
