Ectoin is the skin’s secret against eczema, stress and dehydration. You may have read about it before: this powerful molecule – also known as ‘ectoine’ in Dutch – occurs naturally in microorganisms that survive extreme heat and dryness. But what exactly does ectoin do for your skin? It has become a favourite ingredient in natural skincare, especially for those with sensitive skin, dryness or eczema. In this blog, you can read everything you need to know about ectoin and discover why it plays a central role in our Tomato Base Cream .
What does Ectoine do for your skin?
Ectoine is a so-called extremolyte : a substance that helps micro-organisms survive in extreme heat and dryness. But what exactly does ectoine do for your skin?
-
Protection: Ectoin forms a natural protective layer on your skin. This protects against harmful external influences, such as UV radiation, air pollution and blue light. But beware: Ectoin is not a replacement for sunscreen! Always use a caring sunscreen with SPF as soon as the UV index is 3 or higher.
-
Hydration: Ectoin helps your skin retain moisture, even under the toughest conditions. Ideal for those who suffer from dry, sensitive or irritated skin.
-
Calming for eczema: Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, ectoin is increasingly used in ectoin eczema cream and ectoin eczema ointment. It soothes itching, redness and irritation in a natural way.
How is Ectoin mined?
Ectoin is sustainably produced through the fermentation of halophilic bacteria: microorganisms that live in extremely salty environments. This process is environmentally friendly and ensures that ectoin is a pure, plant-based ingredient. Perfect for those who consciously choose natural skincare.
Ectoin eczema cream: naturally soothing and moisturizing
An ectoin eczema cream is specially developed for people with sensitive skin or eczema. These creams contain a high concentration of ectoine, which intensively hydrates and soothes the skin. An ectoin cream also offers a solution for skin stress or after exposure to sun or wind.
