PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Name:
Ectoine
Product Description:
Proof that big things can come in small packages!
Ectoin is an organic osmolyte derived from the fermentation of organisms living in extreme conditions. Scientific literature references indicate that ectoin is especially useful for skin moisturization and to maintain the skin barrier function, even under the stress of surfactants. This function is especially key with the increased focus on hand washing for pandemic cleanliness.
