The Science of Medectoin® & Extremolytes

What is Medectoin®?
Medectoin® is the medical-grade version of Ectoin®, a natural molecule discovered in 1986 by German scientists in the Egyptian desert. This breakthrough finding revealed how microorganisms survive in extreme environments — from high salinity to intense heat — thanks to Ectoin®’s unique protective power.

Mode of Action:

  • Forms a Hydro-Complex shield around skin cells
  • Stabilizes membranes and prevents stress-induced cell damage
  • Binds water molecules, preserving hydration
  • Reduces oxidative stress and modulates inflammation
  • Protects against allergens and germs, preventing irritation and flare-ups

Ectoin® – Cosmetics Ingredient of the Year 2024

Ectoin® was named Cosmetics Ingredient of the Year 2024 for its outstanding anti-aging and skin-protective properties. Leading skincare brands now incorporate Ectoin® into their formulations, offering consumers enhanced protection against environmental stressors, as seen in products like anti-aging serums and hydrating creams.
