Ectoine
Ectoine is a natural cell protectant, an amino acid derivate produced by bacteria living under extremely harsh environmental conditions. Ectoine serves as an osmoregulatory compatible solute, increasing the hydration of the skin surface and stabilizing lipid layers, which is useful in skincare. Ectoine demonstrates a good safety profile for the treatment of allergic rhinitis[1][2].
