Ectoin is a highly effective active ingredient known for its protective and repairing properties for skin cells. It is gentle and suitable for all skin types.

Key benefits of Ectoin include:

• Anti-Aging: Helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and reduce scaling or roughness.
• Cell Protection: Protects skin cells, including Langerhans cells, from damage caused by environmental stressors like UV radiation.
• Anti-Irritation: Shows effects similar to Hydrocortisone in reducing irritation.
• Moisturizing: Significantly improves skin hydration levels.
• Anti-Pollution: Offers protection against various pollutants (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PAHs) and reduces oxidative damage.
• Protection from Light and Heat: Provides protection against UVB, IR/Heat, and UVA/Visible Light.
• Scalp and Hair Follicle Protection: Can help improve scalp conditions like dandruff, redness, itching, and dryness, and protect hair follicles from oxidative stress.

Ectoin works by helping to build a protective barrier on the skin, nourishing and rejuvenating it. It is typically used in the water phase of formulations at a recommended rate of 0.5-2.0%.
