Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Ectoine is the scientific name for tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acids, an amino acid. It is derived by halophilic bacteria and is therefore also called “salt-tolerant bacteria extract”.
Ectoine balances the osmotic force and has a protective effect against DNA, enzymes and proteins, nucleic acid, cell membranes and even on the whole cell in adverse conditions, such as extreme cold, heat, ultraviolet radiation at high levels, dryness, salt concentration, pH values that are too high, pressures and radiations.
Ectoine is a treasured ingredient that has the ability to retain water in extreme conditions, even when temperatures are high and there are strong acids or alkalis. Ectoine is a stable ingredient that can protect the skin no matter how it’s made.
Ectoine isolates all of these pollutants, which are harmful to the skin and cannot be protected by a general sunscreen.
Ectoine is a cosmetic ingredient that can be used to enhance skin’s immune protection and reduce inflammation. It also has anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory properties.
Ectoine is a powerful anti-microbial and anti-allergen agent that can provide excellent protection and repair to the skin.

Ectoine: Its efficacy and its function
Ectoine is an effective and natural cosmetic active ingredient. It can be used in cosmetics that have a variety of functions due to its extensive cellular protection function. Ectoine is moisturizing and antioxidant with anti-aging and sun protection properties.
1. Ectoine is moisturizing.
Ectoine is a pre-treatment that can help reduce the damage to the skin caused by dehydration. One Ectoine molecule can chelate up to five water molecules. This can then structure the water within the cell. Ectoine is more moisturizing than glycerol for the skin.
Ectoine’s ability to improve skin moisture and water retention capacity is shown by relevant data. The skin’s capacity to retain water will not decrease immediately after discontinuation. Even after one week, the skin still has a higher water holding capacity than the control group.
2. Ectoine is antioxidant
Clinical trials have shown Ectoine to be able to prevent the weakening of antioxidant capacity in cells with age. It also has an antioxidant capacity.
The experimental data indicates that the mixture 0.1mM Ectoine 0.5mM Methionine and 1.5mM Mannitol reduces DNA single-strand breaks in human cells when exposed to 400-800nm wavelength light, reduces the intensity of the ROS oxidation reactions, and reduces the oxidative damages of light on the skin.
3. Immune system protection
The Langerhans cell in the epidermis plays a vital role in skin immunity, but is highly sensitive to UV radiation.
Ectoine prevents the Langerhans cell count from declining due to UV radiation. This maintains the normal function of the skin immune system.
4. Ectoine is a sunblock and anti-aging agent.
UVA radiation (320-400nm) is a major external factor that contributes to the aging of skin. Ectoine has a sun protection effect that can protect your skin.
5. Ectoine is a skin barrier repairer and can treat dermatitis.
Effect of different formulations that contain Ectoine on transdermal hydration. More than 70 test items were used. Ectoin cream has been used. Transdermal dehydration has been significantly reduced in patients with sensitive or atopic skin. Ectoine promotes keratinocytes, helps repair the skin barrier and makes the skin healthier.
6. Improve skin moisture balance
Ectoine can form complexes with water molecules within skin tissue. Ectoine complexes increase the number of hydrophobic interactions and water molecules, which increases the stability of protein. The skin can be kept supple and elastic by preventing water loss.
