In 1985, Professor Galinski discovered in the Egyptian desert that under high temperature, dryness, strong UV irradiation, and high salinity, the desert halophilic bacteria will produce a natural protective component-Ectoin in the outer layer of the cell. So as to start the self-repair function; in addition to the desert, the fungus is also found in saline soil, salt lake, and sea water, which can give a variety of stories. Ectoin is derived from Halomonas Elongata, so Ectoin is also called "Halomonas Elongata". Under extreme conditions of high salt, high temperature, and high ultraviolet radiation, Ectorin protects halophiles from harm. Studies have shown that Ectoine also has a good repair and protection effect on the skin, and is one of the bioengineered preparations used in high-end cosmetics.
Ectoine is also called tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid. Ectorine protects halophilic bacteria from harm. It has two major functions:
1) Moisturizing: It is an important substance to maintain the balance of osmotic pressure. Its unique molecular structure has a strong ability to complex water and can structure free water in cells. It is an excellent natural moisturizer.
2) Repair: Ectorin can resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin and repair the cell DNA damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
Ectoine can be used as a stabilizer to protect enzymes, DNA, cells, etc. against adverse environments such as high salt, drying, freezing, and high temperature, and play a role in resisting stress.
In cosmetics, Ectorine can enhance the immune protection ability of skin cells, and has good anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects; increase cell repair ability, so that the skin can effectively fight the invasion of microorganisms and allergens, which is very good for the skin The protective and repairing effect.
In terms of anti-ultraviolet rays, Ector can repair cell DNA damage caused by ultraviolet rays, effectively reduce the production of sunburned cells and prevent damage to cell membrane structures.
