ECTOÎNE

Ectoin is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are produced by various factors such as UV rays, pollution, smoking, stress, etc. These molecules can damage skin cells and contribute to premature aging. When exposed to free radicals, skin cells experience oxidative stress, which causes inflammation and breakdown of skin structure. Ectoin is a very effective antioxidant that protects the skin against this damage. It works by neutralizing free radicals before they can damage skin cells.

Additionally, ectoin may also reduce skin inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

In addition, ectoin helps protect the skin against UV rays. UV rays are known to cause skin damage such as sunburn, age spots and wrinkles. Ectoin may help reduce the harmful effects of UV rays by acting as a UV absorber and helping to prevent free radical damage.

Finally, ectoin helps maintain skin hydration. This is because it can form a protective barrier around skin cells, which prevents Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and thus maintains skin hydration. Well hydrated skin is more supple and resistant, which prevents the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of skin aging.

In short, the benefits of ectoin in cosmetics have been widely studied and scientifically proven. Using a product containing ectoin helps protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals and UV rays, reduce inflammation of the skin and maintain hydration a good level of hydration. Which is the basis of beautiful skin, and aging well.
