ACTIWISE ECTOINE

ACTIWISE ECTOINE is a pure form of ectoine, present in a range of bacteria to cope with extreme conditions. This ingredient is highly useful to protect us from damaging ageing stresses, too. ACTIWISE ECTOINE is soluble in water, which makes it easy to incorporate in the water phase of products. Suitable use concentrations are approx. 0.3- 2%. ACTIWISE ECTOINE improves skin repair after physical injury, boosts the levels of proteins important in cell integrity after UVB irradiation, reduces ROS (reactive oxygen species) after UVA and stimulates our own defence system. Furthermore, ACTIWISE ECTOINE shows anti-inflammatory properties and improves the skin barrier after SDS damage, as shown by TEWL measurements. ACTIWISE ECTOINE is COSMOS approved, is halal certified, and is suitable for vegans.
