Ectoine（Cat No.:I017994）is a natural compound produced by extremophilic microorganisms to help them survive in harsh environments, such as high-salinity or extreme temperatures. Known as an osmolyte, ectoine protects cells by stabilizing proteins and cell membranes, preventing dehydration and damage under stress. Due to these protective properties, it is widely used in skincare and cosmetics for its moisturizing and soothing effects, making it ideal for sensitive and dry skin. Additionally, ectoine has applications in medical products for treating inflammatory and allergic conditions, as it reduces irritation and strengthens skin resilience.
