Intro
Ecdoine is also called tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid. Ecdoine protects halophiles from harm and has two main functions:
1) Moisturizing: It is an important substance to maintain osmotic pressure balance, its unique molecular structure has a strong water molecular complexation ability, can make the free water in the cell structure, is a very excellent natural moisturizer.
2) Repair: Ecdoin can fight against UV damage to the skin and repair DNA damage caused by UV.
Efficacy and effect
Ecdoine is a natural and effective cosmetic active ingredient. Because it has a wide range of cell protection functions, it can be used in a variety of cosmetics with different functions. Ectoine has the functions of moisturizing, anti-oxidation, protecting against photoaging, sunscreen and so on.
Good moisturizing properties
Ecdoine pretreats the skin and reduces the skin damage caused by dehydration. One molecule of Ectoine can complex four or five water molecules, which can structure the free water in the cell. Compared with glycerin, ecdoine is more moisturizing to the skin. Relevant data show that during the application of Ectoine, the skin moisture retention ability can continue to improve, and the skin water retention ability will not immediately decline after stopping, and the skin water retention ability is higher than that of the control group after stopping for a week.
