Ectoin

Description

CASOV® Ectoin is a high-performance active ingredient derived from extremophilic microorganisms, renowned for its exceptional ability to protect biological molecules (such as enzymes, DNA, and cell membranes) under extreme conditions. This naturally occurring molecule features a unique cyclic structure that forms strong hydrogen bonds with water, enhancing hydration and stability. With a purity of ≥98% and excellent water solubility, it is ideal for advanced skincare and medical applications.
