Products Description
Ectoin Powder is a natural amino acid derivative produced by extreme philic microorganisms, with a molecular formula of C₆H₁₀N₂O₂ and a CAS number of 96702-03-3. Its molecular structure is a ring structure with strong hydrophilicity and electronegativity, which can easily form hydrogen bonds with water molecules to enhance hydration. Ectoin Powder is usually a white or off-white crystalline powder with good water solubility and a pH stability range of 1.0 to 9.0, which is suitable for a variety of formulation systems. It is mainly produced through a fermentation process, has high purity and stability, and is widely used in cosmetic raw materials. In cosmetics, Ectoin Powder is often used as a moisturizing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and repairing ingredient, suitable for skin care, hair care and makeup products. It forms a protective film in skin cells, enhances the skin barrier function, and resists external stressors such as ultraviolet rays, pollution and free radicals.

Ectoin Powder benefits
Stable molecular structure
Ectoin is a small molecule amino acid derivative naturally synthesized by extremophilic microorganisms in extreme environments such as high salt and high temperature. Its unique structure can form a stable hydration shell with water molecules, namely "Ectoin hydro complex". This hydration membrane can cover the cell surface, improve the stability of the cell membrane and reduce the direct damage to the cell by the external environment (including ultraviolet rays, dryness, high temperature, oxidative stress, etc.). Adding 0.5%~2.0% concentration of Ectoin to skin care products can reduce the apoptosis rate of epidermal cells and maintain the integrity of the stratum corneum cell membrane. Therefore, Ectoin has excellent cell protection and can be used to resist skin damage caused by photoaging, environmental pollution, etc. The specific rotation of Ectoin Powder conforms to the range of +160 to +165°, indicating that its molecular configuration is in the optimal stable state, which is conducive to the continuous play of the cell protection mechanism.
Multi-level moisturizing and barrier repair ability
As a small molecule moisturizer, Ectoin has a moisturizing mechanism different from traditional hydrophilic polymers. Ectoin does not rely on the absorption of external moisture, but enhances the skin's endogenous water retention capacity by regulating the water content of the skin's own stratum corneum and increasing intracellular hydration. After adding Ectoin to skin care products, the 24-hour hydration test shows that the water content of the stratum corneum can be increased by 16%~21%, and lasts for more than 8 hours. This long-lasting moisturizing ability makes it suitable for a variety of products such as lotions, creams, sprays, masks, etc., and it has a non-greasy feel and high skin compatibility. Unlike other moisturizers, Ectoin has a significant effect at low concentrations (0.3%-0.5%), which reduces the cost of finished raw materials. Suppliers often position it as a cost-effective functional raw material. At the same time, the price of the finished product fluctuates little due to the purity of the raw materials and supply chain factors, which is suitable for medium- and long-term procurement planning.
Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic mechanism is suitable for problematic skin
When the skin barrier is damaged or allergic, the expression level of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNF-α) increases, and the permeability of keratinocytes increases, leading to skin sensitivity, redness, and desquamation. Ectoin can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors by regulating the skin cell signal transduction pathway, thereby alleviating skin inflammatory response. Ectoin can reduce the expression of IL-6 caused by ultraviolet radiation and restore the skin barrier function. After adding Ectoin to the formula, the erythema index of sensitive people is reduced by an average of 18%. It is often used to improve sensitive conditions such as post-laser skin, mild dermatitis, eczema and rosacea. Ectoin Powder does not contain heavy metals (lead ≤2ppm, mercury ≤1ppm, cadmium ≤0.5ppm), and no microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella have been detected. It meets the international cosmetic raw material GMP standards and can be directly used in various sensitive skin care products.
