Ectoine is derived from Halomonas Elongata, so it is also called "salt-resistant bacteria extract". Under extreme conditions of high salt, high temperature, and high UV radiation,ectoin protects halophiles from harm. Studies have shown that ectoine has a good repair and protection effect on the skin and is one of the bioengineered preparations used in high-grade cosmetics.
In cosmetics, ectoine can improve the immune protection of skin cells, and has good anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects; increase cell repair ability, so that the skin can effectively resist the invasion of microorganisms and allergens, which is very good for the skin Protection and repair effects.
In terms of combating ultraviolet rays, Ectoine can repair cell DNA damage caused by ultraviolet rays, can effectively reduce the formation of sunburned cells, and prevent damage to cell membrane structures.
