Ectoin is a natural ingredient that has become famous for its protective and soothing properties. First discovered in microorganisms that thrive in extreme environments, where it helps protect them from environmental stressors, it has become a valuable addition to modern skin care formulations.

1. Protects the skin from stressors in the surrounding environment
Ectoin is considered a natural barrier that protects the skin from external pollution, UV rays, and blue light. It helps prevent oxidative stress and skin damage caused by daily environmental aggressions, making it an important ingredient in sunscreen products.
2. Deep hydration and barrier strengthening
Ectoin has the ability to retain moisture in the skin. It binds to water molecules to keep the skin moisturized for a long time. This makes it particularly effective in moisturizing serums, creams, and skin care products containing Ectoin ingredients are preferred for dry or sensitive skin.
3. Soothing and anti-inflammatory effects
Ectoin is also known for its calming properties, which helps reduce redness, soothe inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier, making it a popular ingredient in products for sensitive skin, recovery after light medical aesthetic treatments, redness and dryness.
4. Anti-aging and skin elasticity enhancement
By stabilizing skin cells and preventing oxidative damage, Ectoin supports skin elasticity and firmness.
Whether in anti-pollution creams, moisturizing serums or sensitive skin formulas, Ectoin can help strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin tolerance, and help the skin cope with external environmental challenges.
Focusfreda can provide Ectoin raw materials with stable quality for a long time, and use it with hyaluronic acid to help you improve new formulas.
