Ectoin, scientific name: tetrahydromethylpyrazylcarboxylic acid.
1985, Professor Galinski discovered desert halophila in the Egyptian desert. In high temperature, dryness, strong UV irradiation and high salinity environment, it will generate a natural protective ingredient in the outer layer of the cell, Ectoin, thereby enabling the self-repair function; Ectoin prevents halophila from harm.
Ikedo is the component that can ensure that this high-halophilic bacteria can maintain good cell activity under extreme conditions of high salt, high temperature and high ultraviolet radiation.
Research shows that Ektoin also has a good repair and protective effect on the skin and is one of the bioengineering preparations used in high-end cosmetics.
The efficacy of ekedo on the skin:
1, anti-inflammatory and soothing: Many products ( Estee Lauder , Shiseido , etc. are important ingredients) will use "ekedo" such as some functional products. For example, more "acid" or "antioxidants" are used. In order to increase the "tolerance" of the skin, "ekedo" will be considered to help the skin reduce sensitivity and irritation when it gains benefits.
2. Moisturizing: Ikedoin is a very excellent moisturizer. It can moisturize and replenish skin microcirculation, promote the synthesis and secretion of hyaluronic acid , promote the synthesis and secretion of macromolecules such as hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein , enhance the hydrophilicity of the skin, and maintain moisture in the skin.
3. Repair of skin: Ekto is able to improve the immune protection ability of skin cells. It has outstanding effects on various damages to skin tissue, removing acne, acne , small defects after mole removal, peeling, redness, and fruit acid after skin removal, skin burns caused by grinding, epidermal damage repair after grinding, etc., improves skin thin, rough, scars, and other adverse conditions, so as to restore the skin to smooth and smooth.
And because Ikedo can also relieve various pressures on the skin: ultraviolet damage, skin aging caused by dry environment, and skin deterioration caused by surfactants. . . Therefore, being praised by the industry as a "magical repair factor" is the greatest affirmation and recognition of it.
4, isolation: It can form a protective shell around cells, enzymes, protein and other biological molecules. Scientists have confirmed that Ektodo has the effects of protecting cells, nourishing, anti-aging and maintaining muscle bottoms. Due to the existence of the protective shell, skin cells are equivalent to being "armed" and have better "resistance to strike", and are less likely to be stimulated by external stimulation factors, thereby reducing inflammation and damage response.
IKO's effect on skin barrier
IKO's in addition to its repairing power, it also effectively repairs the ingredients of the skin barrier. The skin barrier is damaged and the skin's absorption capacity is weak, resulting in poor condition. Iktoin can build a powerful protective layer of water molecules in the skin, which can strengthen and restore cellular functions, stabilize the skin barrier, restore and regulate moisture content. It can help the skin lock in moisture and maintain a good growth environment for cells. At the same time, it also helps the skin barrier recover and keeps the skin healthy and hydrated.
