Introduction

Ectoine is also called tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid. It has two major functions: 1) Moisturizing: It is an important substance to maintain osmotic pressure balance, and its unique molecular structure has a strong ability to complex water molecules, which can make intracellular The free water is structured and is an excellent natural moisturizer. 2) Repair: ectoine can resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin and repair the cell DNA damage caused by ultraviolet rays.

Chemical properties

Use

●  Ectoine is a natural and effective cosmetic active ingredient. Due to its wide range of cell protection functions, it can be used in many cosmetic products with different functions. Ectoine has the functions of moisturizing, anti-oxidation, protection against photoaging, and sun protection.
good moisturizing
Pretreating the skin with Ectoine can reduce skin damage caused by dehydration; one molecule of Ectoine can complex four or five water molecules to structure the free water in cells. Compared to glycerin, ectoine is more moisturizing to the skin.
Relevant data show that during the application period of Ectoine, the skin's water-holding capacity can continue to improve, and the skin's water-holding capacity will not drop immediately after discontinuation. The skin's water-holding capacity is still higher than that of the control group after one week of discontinuation.
Antioxidant effect
Clinical trials have shown that ectoine can prevent the weakening of the antioxidant capacity of cells with the increase of age, and has a certain antioxidant capacity.
The experimental data show that the mixed use of 0.1 mM Ectoine, 0.5 mM methionine and 1.5 mM mannitol can reduce the DNA single-strand break of human glial cells under the light source of 400-800 nm, and reduce the intensity of ROS oxidation reaction, thereby reducing the oxidation of light to the skin harm.
immune system protection
Langerhans cells in the epidermis play a key role in the skin's immune system, but are very sensitive to UV stress. And Ectoine just keeps the number of Langerhans cells from being reduced by ultraviolet radiation, so that the skin's immune system maintains normal functioning.
Protection against photoaging and sun protection
Skin aging is not only the result of the passage of time, one of the important external factors is ultraviolet rays, especially UVA (320-400nm).
In the entire ultraviolet band, UVA has the longest wavelength and the lowest energy, but unlike UVB, the change of UVA content in sunlight is little affected by latitude, time period, weather and season, so the daily and annual UVA exposure The doses are almost fixed and build up in large quantities over our lifetimes.

●  With its moisturizing and repairing properties, ectoine is widely used in skin care products and can be used to improve skin tone.
