Ectoin,Mannitol
Ingredients Details
Ectoin
Common Name(s): Ectoin,extremophile stress protector,anti-aging humectant
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Hydrates by forming a water-shell around skin biomolecules, stabilises cellular membranes against heat/uv stress, and reduces inflammatory cytokine release in stressed skin.
Why It's Used: Provides dual humectancy plus cellular protection โ unique among humectants for its documented ability to stabilise skin proteins and membranes against uv and environmental stress, not just attract water.
How It Works: Ectoin's tetrahydropyrimidine ring forms an ordered hydration shell around proteins, lipid bilayers, and dna through kosmotropic water structuring. this preferential hydration excludes denaturants and uv-stress mediators from biomolecule surfaces while simultaneously providing humectant moisture binding.
Typically Found In: Sensitive skin,uv protection actives,anti-inflammatory
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Extremophile bacteria accumulate ectoin at up to 15% intracellular concentration to survive 100ยฐc temperatures and extreme salinity โ the same biomolecule protection mechanism applies to human skin cells at cosmetic concentrations.

Mannitol
Common Name(s): D-mannitol,manna sugar,mannite
CAS Number: 69-65-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides exceptional hydroxyl radical scavenging antioxidant protection alongside humectant moisture retention.
Why It's Used: Used for potent hydroxyl radical scavenging where standard antioxidants (tocopherol, ascorbic acid) are less effective, combined with humectant activity.
How It Works: 6 hydroxyl groups provide both water binding (humectant) and direct hydroxyl radical (.oh) scavenging. hydroxyl radicals are the most reactive and damaging free radicals โ mannitol is one of few compounds that scavenges them directly.
Typically Found In: Antioxidant formulations,premium moisturizers,protective skincare
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ sugar alcohol / free radical scavenger
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenger,superior antioxidant
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Mannitol's rate constant for hydroxyl radical scavenging (k = 1.4 ร 10^7 m^-1s^-1) makes it one of the most effective biological hydroxyl radical scavengers. this is important because hydroxyl radicals cannot be scavenged by standard antioxidants like tocopherol or ascorbic acid.
