Ectoin is a naturally occurring compound derived from single-cell bacteria that can be found in the most extreme environments around the world (think: salt lakes in the Egyptian desert). "It's what's known as an extremolyte," Kappel says. "It protects organisms against dehydration, extreme temperatures and a host of other environmental factors by providing a natural protective component on the outer layer of cells." While ectoin has been around since time immemorial, she says it's only recently been added to skin care routines as an active ingredient - and due to its limitless benefits, our skin is thankful for that
Ectoin makes for an incredible anti-aging ingredient for the way it "reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, increases skin elasticity and promotes skin barrier repair." it also helps protect the skin from damage caused by UV radiation, pollution and other environmental factors. As a natural moisturizer, it can help hydrate and soothe dry, damaged and irritated skin.
The primary benefit of using ectoin as an active in your skin care routine is that it has the ability to bind water and reduce transepidermal water loss. This locks in moisture and stabilizes the skin barrier, she says. Because it reduces the impact of the sun's harmful rays, it helps fight inflammation, which means less crepe-y and overall smoother skin.
