Ectoine is its ability to stabilize cell membranes. This membrane-stabilizing property is critical for protecting skin cells from environmental stressors such as UV radiation, pollution, and temperature fluctuations that would otherwise compromise the integrity of the skin. By strengthening the skin's natural barrier, Cosmate®ECT helps maintain a healthy, resilient complexion.
Ectoine is more than just an ingredient; This is a testament to the ingenuity of nature. By harnessing the restorative power of extremophiles, Ectoine delivers unparalleled skin care benefits. In today's world, where our skin faces relentless challenges, incorporating Ectoine into your daily routine is a positive step towards healthier, stronger skin.
Cosmate®ECT (1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid) is a widely distributed compatible solute accumulated by halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms to prevent osmotic stress in highly saline environments. Ectoine as a highly water keeping compound stabilizing biomolecules and whole cells can be used in skin care products.Ectoine, Ectoine is a natural protectant expressed by halophile bacteria to resist challenges of their natural environments, such as drought, heat or high salt concentrations. As a compatible solute, ectoine does not interfere with the cell’s metabolism even at high molar concentrations.as small organic molecules, occur widely in aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, and halophilic organisms that enable them to survive under extreme conditions. These organisms protect their biopolymers against dehydration caused by high temperature, salt concentration, and low water activity by substantial ectoine synthesis and enrichment within the cell. The organic osmolyte ectoine and hydroxyectoine are amphoteric, water-binding, organic molecules. Cosmate®ECT,Ectoine provides excellent anti-aging and cell-protection benefits. Ectoine repairs and improves damaged, aged or stressed and irritated skin, promotes skin barrier repair and long-term hydration. Ectoine shows comprehensive anti-pollution efficacy and blue light protection and supports a healthy skin microbiome – for a scientific approach in efficient anti-aging and skin protection concepts. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive, allergic and baby skin.
