Viablife Ectoin-Cosmetic Powder Sam

Ectoine, with the formula 2-methyl-1,4,5,6, -tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid, also known as tetrahydropyrimidine, is a new amino acid derivative of a water-soluble zwitterion discovered in 1985.
In 1985 Galinski was the first to identify and isolate ectoine in halophilic bacteria by NMR and mass spectrometry. At high salt concentrations, Ectoine accumulates in large quantities in some halophilic bacteria as a permeable compensation solute to resist changes in the high osmotic pressure of the external environment.

Product efficacy

Ectoine is a natural and effective active ingredient used in cosmetics due to its extensive cellular protection properties. It is highly valued for its moisturizing, antioxidant, photoaging protection, and sunscreen effects, making it suitable for a wide range of skincare products

1.Moisture Retention
Ectoine significantly enhances skin hydration by binding and structuring free water within cells. A single molecule of ectoine can hold four to five water molecules, providing more effective moisturization compared to glycerin. Studies have shown that Ectoine can continually improve skin moisture retention over time, with hydration levels remaining higher than the control group even after stopping application.

2.Antioxidant Effect
Clinical trials indicate that ectoine helps preserve the natural antioxidant capacity of cells as they age, offering a defense against oxidative stress.

3.Immune System Protection
In the skin, Langerhans cells play a key role in immune defense but are highly susceptible to UV damage. Ectoine protects these cells from UV-induced reduction, helping the skin's immune system to function optimally.

4.Protection Against Photoaging and Sunscreen Benefits
Ectoine is effective in protecting against UVA-induced photoaging. UVA, with a wavelength range of 320-400 nm, is constant in sunlight exposure throughout the year, irrespective of latitude or weather, leading to a cumulative effect on skin aging. Ectoine offers daily defense against this accumulation, helping to maintain youthful skin appearance.

Product Application

Because of ectoins's excellent moisturizing effect and mild nature, it has a wide application dimension in cosmetics. In addition to skin care products, ectoins is also used in sunscreen, cleansing, facial care, hair care, makeup, beauty and other types of products.
