ECTOIN cas 96702-03-3

Product Description

Ectoine has moisturizing, anti-oxidation, photo-aging protection, and sun protection effects.

Good moisturizing properties Pre-treating the skin with ectoine can reduce skin damage caused by dehydration;

One molecule of ectoine can complex four or five water molecules, which can structure the free water in the cell.

Compared with glycerol, ectoine is more moisturizing to the skin.

2.

Antioxidant effect Clinical trials have shown that ectoine can prevent the weakening trend of the antioxidant capacity of cells with age, and has a certain antioxidant capacity.

Experimental data show that the mixed use of 0.1mM Ectoine, 0.5mM malathione and 1.5mM mannitol can reduce the single-strand breaks of human glial cell DNA under 400-800nm light source, reduce the intensity of ROS oxidation reaction, and thus reduce the oxidative damage of light to the skin.

3.

Protection of the immune system Langerhans cells in the epidermis play a key role in the skin immune system, but they are very sensitive to ultraviolet stress.

Ectoine can prevent the number of Langerhans cells from decreasing due to ultraviolet radiation, thereby maintaining the normal functioning of the skin's immune system.

4.

Protection against photoaging and sun protection Skin aging is not only the result of the passage of time, but 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 in UVA content in sunlight is little affected by latitude, time period, weather and season.

Therefore, the daily and annual UVA exposure dose is almost fixed, and it continues to accumulate in large quantities throughout our lives.
