Ectoin

Ectoin is a natural molecule derived from extremophilic microorganisms that survive in harsh environments like salt lakes and deserts. In skincare, it acts as a powerful stress-protection and anti-inflammatory ingredient that helps to defend skin from pollution, UV rays, and temperature changes.

Ectoin also stabilises the skin’s barrier, improves hydration, and reduces redness and irritation. Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive or reactive skin, it’s often found in moisturisers and protective serums designed to shield and strengthen the skin.
