<Ectoin Natural Features> Ectoin is a type of cyclic amino acid produced by extremophilic microorganisms (Halomonas) that inhabit salt lakes and deserts. It has 4 moles of bound water per 1 mole of Ectoin, exhibiting cosmotropic properties. This characteristic contributes to the stabilization of interactions between water molecules, forming a hydrocomplex. This hydrocomplex helps stabilize biological structures (such as cells, proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids) against environmental stresses like temperature changes, high salt concentrations, strong UV radiation, and dehydration. ― About Effectiveness ― Moisturizing Persistence (In-Vivo): Lasts for 1 week.
