Does Ectoin Powder affect the skin?

Ectoin, also known as tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid, is an extreme enzyme component that comes from halophilic bacteria in extreme environments. It can not only balance osmotic pressure, but also has a good protective effect on DNA, enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids, cell membranes and the entire cell under adverse conditions such as severe cold, high temperature, high ultraviolet rays, dryness, high salt, extreme pH, high pressure, and high radiation.

It is a cyclized amino acid derivative and an amphoteric, water-bound organic molecule with good hydrophilicity. It can organize and bind water molecules and amino acid derivatives around it to produce the so-called "Ectoin hydroelectric complex". These complexes surround cells, enzymes, proteins and other biological molecules, forming a stable hydration shell around them, which can maintain osmotic pressure balance and reduce excessive evaporation of water in internal cells. It is equivalent to adding a protective shield outside the cell to increase the cell's ability to resist impact and ensure that the molecules in the cell can operate normally.

After continuous in-depth research by scientists, it was found that this ingredient not only has strong stress resistance and good repair power, but also has been proven to be an effective ingredient for repairing the skin barrier. The skin barrier is damaged and the skin's absorption capacity is weak, resulting in poor condition. It can build a strong protective layer composed of water molecules in the skin, strengthen and restore cell function, stabilize the skin barrier, and restore and regulate water content.

Ecdoin's skin care benefits

Protect cells and enhance skin immune function

Studies have shown that water molecules form organized water molecule clusters around it, which enhances the hydration of the phospholipid membrane surface, causing lipid expansion, thereby increasing the fluidity of its lipid head group, and then making the lipid laminar, thereby improving the ability of the cell membrane to withstand extreme environments such as temperature or osmotic pressure, and further accelerating cell repair.

Protect the skin

It is a natural cell protection factor that still has excellent water retention ability in extreme environments. It can resist light, high temperature, strong acid and alkali pH changes. No matter how the environment changes, it can maintain stable properties and protect our skin. In addition to the stimulation of ultraviolet rays, there are also PM2.5, infrared rays, dust pollution, radiation, etc. Ecdoin can isolate them all.

Isolation

It can form a protective shell around cells, enzymes, proteins and other biological molecules. Scientists have confirmed in many clinical studies that Ecdoin has the functions of protecting cells, nourishing, anti-aging and stabilizing the skin base. Due to the existence of the protective shell, skin cells are equivalent to being "armed" and have better "resistance to impact", and are less likely to be stimulated by external stimuli, thereby reducing inflammation and injury reactions.

Moisturizing

It is a very good moisturizer. It can moisturize and replenish water, improve skin microcirculation, promote the synthesis and secretion of hyaluronic acid, the synthesis and secretion of macromolecules such as glycoproteins, enhance the hydrophilicity of the skin, and maintain moisture in the skin. It has a super strong water-locking ability, and can form a tight water-locking film on the skin surface with its ability to complex water molecules, maintain skin moisture, and keep the skin hydrated.

Eliminate and fade wrinkles

It has the function of promoting fibroblast growth and epidermal cell metabolism, which can make elastic fiber cells develop rapidly, thereby enhancing the self-repair ability of cells, reactivating aging cells, allowing cells to quickly renew and metabolize, especially broken superficial epidermal fibroblasts can also be repaired, and wrinkles can be gradually faded and eliminated.

Delaying skin aging

The skin will gradually age due to the influence of age and environment, and it can delay aging, promote cell proliferation and differentiation, reverse the differentiation of mature cells, inhibit the emergence of aging genes, fundamentally solve the problem of skin cell composition, and make skin cells more energetic.

Mechanism of action of Ecdoin

1. Its ring structure has strong electronegativity and is easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which enhances the associating ability of water molecules, makes water molecules arrange in a directional manner around it, changes the spatial arrangement of water molecules, and can form a water molecule protective layer outside the cell to enhance the skin barrier;

2. It can effectively protect Langerhans cells from damage by external stimuli, thereby enhancing skin immunity and giving people a strong skin constitution;

3. When skin cells are subjected to environmental stress, such as ultraviolet radiation, emergency protection and regeneration reactions will occur, and heat shock proteins will be generated to help cells maintain normal physiological activities;

4. It can prevent the chain reaction caused by UVA irradiation, prevent mt-DNA mutations induced by UVA, reduce the generation of second messengers induced by UVA in the cell membrane layer, reduce the activity of AP2 in the protoplasm layer induced by UVA, and thus reduce the pro-inflammatory factors in the cell nucleus;

5. It can penetrate into the epidermis, make up for the phenomenon of rapid water loss after low-molecular hyaluronic acid injection, and truly repair the skin's water lock system.

Application direction

Used as a unique antioxidant

Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that is highly protective and non-toxic to cells. It is not easily oxidized in water, which allows them to reach a concentration of mmol in certain tissues and stimulate the natural antioxidant defense system of cells. Among the many antioxidants, it is particularly unique because it can chelate heavy metal ions and protect red blood cells in the body from free radical damage.

Cosmetics

Ultraviolet UVA in sunlight can penetrate into the dermis of human skin, affect the growth of epidermal cells, cause surface cells to die, and cause premature aging of the skin. It can minimize the formation of active oxygen and protect cells from radiation damage, so it can be added to certain cosmetics as a skin protectant for the development of outdoor skin care products and protective cosmetics.

Application in other aspects

Due to its excellent performance, it can be applied to many fields. For example, it can be used in the medical field, food field, health care product field, etc. In the medical field, it can be used to treat inflammation, etc., and can be made into tablets, capsules, oral preparations, etc.; in the health care product field, it can be made into functional foods, functional drinks and other products.
