1. Product Introduction
Ectoine is a natural protective amino acid derivative originally discovered and isolated from halophilic bacteria by Galinski in 1985 through nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry analysis. As a high-efficiency and safe natural cosmetic active ingredient, ectoine possesses powerful cell protection, long-acting moisturizing, anti-oxidation and anti-photoaging capabilities. It effectively resists UV damage and improves skin tolerance, making it widely applicable in multi-functional skin care and cosmetic formulations.
We are a professional high-tech biotech enterprise focusing on biological raw material R&D and production. Our product portfolio covers biomedicine, health food, cosmetics and personal care fields. Ectoine, Ergothioneine and Hyaluronic Acid are our flagship cosmetic raw materials with stable supply, high purity and competitive pricing.
Prius is an international high-tech company engaged in R&D and production in the field of biology. The products are used in biomedicine, health food, skin care, cosmetics, etc.
Ergothioneine, Ectoin, and Hyaluronic Acid are all flagship products in our cosmetics category.

2. Core Functions & Benefits
2.1 Long-acting Deep Moisturizing
Ectoine is a natural osmotic protective substance extracted from extreme halophilic microorganisms. It helps bacteria resist dehydration and survive in high-salt and extreme environments. With a special molecular structure, ectoine possesses strong water molecule complexing capacity, forming a stable water-locking protective film on the skin surface.
Different from ordinary moisturizing ingredients with short-term hydration effect, ectoine can continuously improve and repair the skin's natural water-holding capacity. Even after stopping use, the skin moisture retention will not drop rapidly, and remains significantly higher than the control group for up to one week, achieving long-lasting and stable moisturizing effect.
2.2 Powerful Skin Repair & Anti-aging
Ectoine is an excellent cell protective and repair ingredient. It effectively reduces UV-induced skin damage, repairs ultraviolet radiation-caused DNA damage of skin cells, and relieves various skin stresses including photodamage, dry aging, and skin deterioration caused by surfactant irritation.
As a high-efficiency anti-aging additive, it enhances skin tolerance, delays extrinsic skin aging, repairs damaged skin barrier, and improves rough, dull and sensitive skin problems caused by external environmental stimulation.
2.3 Antioxidation & Anti-photoaging
Ectoine inhibits free radical proliferation caused by UV radiation, reduces oxidative stress damage, and assists sunscreen products in enhancing outdoor anti-photoaging protection, widely used in sunscreen, after-sun repair and anti-aging skin care formulations.
3. Wide Application Fields
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Widely added in moisturizing lotion, facial cream, essence, sunscreen, after-sun repair products and anti-aging skin care products.
Biotechnology Industry: Applied in enzyme stabilization technology, biosensor technology and bioprocess optimization.
Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical: Used for cell protection, stress resistance research and biological preparation development.
Cosmetics Raw Material.
In addition to its application in the cosmetics field, Ectoine is also used in biotechnology, mainly focusing on enzyme application technology, biosensor technology, etc., in addition to pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals.
- Moisturizing
Ectoin ensures that hyperhalophilic bacteria does not dehydrate and die in high-salt environments. Besides, ectoin is an important material to maintain osmotic pressure balance and its unique molecular structure makes it has strong complexing ability of water molecules.
Ectoin can continuously improve skin's moisturizing water holding capacity, and the skin's water holding capacity will not decrease immediately after ectoin discontinuation, with which still being higher than that of the control group one week after discontinuation. It's a very good moisturizer.
- Skin Repair
Ectoin is able to decrease the damage caused by ultraviolet light to skin and repair the damage caused by ultraviolet light to the DNA cells.Due to its ability to relieve various pressures on the skin, such as UV damage, skin aging caused by dry environment, and skin deterioration caused by surfactant, ectoin has attracted much attention as a cell repair additive, which is added to cosmetics for the purpose of fighting against skin aging.
