Basic Information
Product Description
Ectoin is a novel amino acid derivative of water-soluble amphoteric ions discovered in 1985. It is an important substance for maintaining osmotic pressure balance. Its unique molecular structure has a strong ability to complex water molecules, structuring free water in cells, making it an excellent natural moisturizer. It can fight against UV damage to the skin and repair cellular DNA damage caused by UV rays.

Key Benefits & Applications
Forms a "hydrated shell" around cells, isolating UVB, IR and blue light damage. Minimizes DNA damage and reduces sun-damaged cells by up to 67%.
