[Ectoin]

Ectoin is a powerful bio-protective molecule known as an extremolyte, originally discovered in microorganisms that survive extreme environments. In skincare, it works by stabilising cell membranes and protecting skin from environmental stressors such as pollution, UV radiation and blue light exposure.

Beyond protection, Ectoin significantly improves hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss and supporting long-term barrier resilience. It is especially valuable for sensitive, urban-exposed or dehydrated skin, helping maintain comfort, elasticity and skin health throughout the day.

[The benefits related to Ectoin]

Environmental Defence (Pollution / UV / Blue Light)

Modern skin is constantly exposed to pollution, UV radiation and blue light, all of which contribute to oxidative stress and premature ageing. Environmental defence helps minimise this daily damage.

Protective ingredients reinforce the skin barrier, reduce inflammation and support cellular resilience, helping skin remain strong and balanced despite ongoing exposure.

Barrier Repair & Strengthening

The skin barrier is responsible for locking in hydration and protecting against environmental stressors. When weakened, skin becomes more prone to dryness, irritation and inflammation.

Supporting barrier repair restores the skin's natural defences, improving resilience and comfort. A strengthened barrier helps skin retain moisture, tolerate actives better and maintain long-term skin health.

Hydration & Moisture Replenishment

Hydration is essential for maintaining healthy, resilient skin. When moisture levels drop, skin can appear dull, tight and less elastic. Replenishing hydration helps restore plumpness, smooth texture and overall comfort at the surface and deeper layers of the skin.

Effective hydration goes beyond adding water. Ingredients that attract moisture, strengthen the barrier and reduce water loss help maintain long-lasting hydration. Properly hydrated skin appears smoother, brighter and more balanced.

  • Barrier Damage & Skin Weakness

    A compromised skin barrier leads to increased sensitivity, dehydration and inflammation. Repairing the lipid structure helps skin retain moisture and defend against stressors.
