Ectoin is a highly water soluble, white crystalline powder. Until now Ectoin was not available for use in anhydrous formulations. As the leading expert in Ectoin, the research of bitop has bridged this gap with the development of ECTOinOIL®. With this innovative bioactive, formulators can create highly effective, water-smart products with Ectoin while saving 99.9% of water compared to an emulsion. Furthermore, ECTOinOIL® is produced via sustainable manufacturing process (bio-fermentation). The combination of water-saving applications and sustainable manufacturing makes this active a true “green ingredient”.

ECTOinOIL® is hydrated natural Ectoin combined with a plant-based, super skin-friendly surfactant and a natural solvent. The 100% natural active enables a new and easy way of incorporating Ectoin into water-free formulations including oil-serums, makeup, mascara, foundation, pressed powders, body oils, sun care, and more.

ECTOinOIL® is very easy to formulate and delivers all the recognized clinically proven benefits of water-soluble Ectoin for anhydrous formulations. It offers manufacturers the opportunity of creating a new range of consumer trending, water-smart products with a great texture and the clinically proven and recognized efficacy of Ectoin such as anti-aging, blue light protection, anti-pollution, long-term hydration, or soothing benefits.

An in vivo study carried out with 5% ECTOinOIL® on 33 female volunteers over a period of 2 months showed significant results including increasement of cutaneous hydration by 28%, increasement of skin´s elasticity by 14% and reduction of skin roughness by 8%.

ECTOinOIL® is characterized not only by its great benefits for the skin but also by its sustainability approach. This bioactive allows formulators to dramatically reduce the need for water and create water-smart skincare products with the convincing efficacy end-users want.

bitop is a German manufacturer and expert in the biotechnological production and development of natural stress-protection molecules, the so-called Extremolytes. In nature, these molecules protect extremophilic plants and microorganisms from their hostile environments, such as deserts, salt lakes, hot springs, or the arctic ice. The efficacy of bitop's Extremolytes has been proven by numerous in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro studies performed by independent institutes, scientists, and CROs worldwide.

bitop’s active ingredients are manufactured in Germany by a patented, sustainable, state-of-the-art biotechnological process. Manufacturing meets DIN EN ISO 13485, ensuring high-quality products for customers worldwide. All bioactives are certified by Ecocert, COSMOS, NATRUE, halal, vegan, and are China applicable.
