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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
