Ectoin is skin's secret against eczema, stress, and dehydration. You may have already read about it: this powerful molecule – also called 'ectoine' in Dutch – occurs naturally in micro-organisms that survive extreme heat and drought. But what does ectoin actually do for your skin? It has become a favorite ingredient in natural skincare, especially for people with sensitive skin, dryness, or eczema. In this blog you'll read everything you need to know about ectoin and discover why it plays a central role in our Tomato Base Cream.
What does Ectoin do for your skin?
Ectoin is a so-called extremolyte: a substance that helps micro-organisms survive in extreme heat and drought. But what does ectoin actually 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 note: Ectoin does not replace 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 harshest conditions. Ideal for those dealing with dry, sensitive, or irritated skin.
-
Soothing for eczema: Thanks to its soothing effect, ectoin is increasingly used in ectoin eczema cream and ectoin eczema ointment. It calms itching, redness, and irritation in a natural way.
How is Ectoin produced?
Ectoin is produced sustainably through fermentation of halophilic bacteria: micro-organisms that live in extremely salty environments. This process is environmentally friendly and ensures that ectoin is a pure, plant-based ingredient. Perfect for anyone who consciously chooses natural skincare.
Ectoin eczema cream: naturally soothing and hydrating
An ectoin eczema cream is specially developed for people with sensitive skin or eczema. These creams contain a high concentration of ectoin, allowing them to intensively hydrate and soothe the skin. An ectoin cream also offers relief during skin stress or after exposure to sun or wind.
