The "strongest auxiliary" for skin barrier - Ectoin

What is Ectoin

Ectoin is an amino acid derivative with the chemical name"Tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid". It was first isolated in 1985 from a special bacterium, Halobacterium, in the desert salt-alkali land of Egypt, Africa. Ectoin is a functional ingredient derived from a highly halophilic bacterium. It is an important substance for halophilic bacteria to maintain osmotic pressure balance, so it is also called "halobacterium extract".

In a highly salinized and highly osmotic pressured environment, cells can easily lose water and die. In order to cope with this situation, the desire for survival has led halophilic bacteria to evolve the ability to use the most basic amino acids (Asparagus Acid), synthesizes a type of substance by itself, which can not only balance osmotic pressure but also lock water in the body. This is the origin of ectoin. 

Ectoin, registered as Tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid in cosmetics (if your skin care product ingredient list has this complicated name, it is Ectoin), is an amino acid derivative. Currently, commercial production is mainly carried out using the "bacterial milking" process using moderately halophilic bacteria.

Ecdoin can not only balance cell osmotic pressure, but also have strong effects on enzymes, DNA, proteins, nucleic acids, cell membranes and the entire cell under adverse conditions such as high temperature, cold resistance, drought, extreme pH, high pressure, high salt, and high radiation.

Ectoin Mechanism Action

Ectoin is a cyclic amino acid derivative and an amphoteric, water-bound organic molecule. It has good hydrophilicity (solubility in water is 5.45mol/kg) and can organize and bind to surrounding water molecules. and amino acid derivatives, producing the so-called "Ectoin hydroelectric complex".

These complexes surround cells, enzymes, proteins and other biological molecules, forming a stable hydration shell around them, which can maintain osmotic pressure balance and reduce excessive evaporation of water in the inner cells. It is equivalent to adding a protective shield outside the cells to increase The ability of cells to resist attack ensures that molecules within cells can function normally.

After continuous in-depth research by scientists, it was discovered that the ingredient Ectoin not only has strong anti-stress and good repairing power, but has also been proven to be an effective ingredient in repairing the skin barrier.

The skin barrier is damaged and the skin's absorption capacity is weak, resulting in poor condition. Ecdoin can build a powerful protective layer composed of water molecules in the skin, which can strengthen and restore cell functions, stabilize the skin barrier, restore and regulate moisture content.

Ectoine Dosage In Cosmetics

Ectoin can effectively protect Langerhans cells from external stimuli, thereby enhancing skin immunity and giving people a strong skin constitution.

BitopAG data shows that experimental results: 0.5% ectoine can completely protect Langerhans cells in the skin from UV radiation.

When skin cells are exposed to environmental stress, such as high temperature, ultraviolet radiation, hypoxia, heavy metal exposure, viral infection, etc., Ectoin will produce emergency protection and regeneration responses, generating heat shock proteins to help each cell maintain normal physiological activities. 

Merck data shows that 1.0% ectoine can achieve a faster emergency response, prevent cell damage, and increase the speed of self-healing by 2-3 times.

Ultraviolet rays can cause photoaging and accelerate skin aging. Ectoin prevents the chain reaction caused by UVA exposure and prevents mt-DNA mutations induced by UVA.

Merck data shows that 4.0% Ecdoine can reduce the formation of sunburn cells 80%-90% caused by ultraviolet radiation.
