Anti-Pollution Formulation with Ectoin, Fucus Film, Marine Plankton, and Plankton Artemia Extract

Regarding your question about using Ectoin alone for PM2.5 protection, Ectoin does have anti-pollution properties, including demonstrated effects against PM2.5 in in-vitro tests. It works by protecting cells from environmental stress.

While Ectoin provides a level of protection, combining it with other ingredients can offer more comprehensive defense against environmental pollutants like PM2.5. The ingredients you have purchased – Fucus Film, Marine Plankton, and Plankton Artemia Extract – can complement Ectoin's action:

• Ectoin: Provides cellular protection and repair from various stressors, including pollution.
• Fucus Film: Forms a protective film on the skin surface, acting as a physical barrier against pollutants.
• Plankton Artemia Extract: Offers general environmental protection and helps protect skin cells.
• Marine Plankton: Primarily provides lifting and tightening effects by forming a temporary film, which may offer some minimal physical barrier benefit as well.

To create an anti-pollution formulation using these ingredients, here are recommended usage percentages based on their typical inclusion rates:

• Ectoin: 2.0%
• Fucus Film: 5.0%
• Plankton Artemia Extract: 2.0% (Note: Higher percentages might cause a sticky feeling)
• Marine Plankton: 1.0 - 2.0% (Use 2.0% for stronger lifting/tightening effect)

When formulating, ensure you follow the mixing instructions for each ingredient (e.g., mixing into the water phase, avoiding high heat where specified). Combining these ingredients can create a multi-faceted approach to protecting the skin from environmental damage, including PM2.5.
