Ectoin ® natural is a natural amino acid derivative and belongs to the extremolyte group. Extremolytes are small stress protection molecules that protect extremophilic microorganisms and plants from the hostile conditions of their habitats (salt lakes, hot springs, arctic ice, deserts, deep sea). Ectoin ® was discovered by chance in 1985 in microorganisms that were found in a salt lake in Wadi El Natrun (Egyptian desert) under actually sterile conditions as their protective substance.
