Ectoin — Cosmetic Grade
Allzone Trading supplies Ectoin as a white crystalline powder to manufacturers and formulators in Canada and international B2B markets. Also referenced as Ectoine, Tetrahydromethylpyrimidinecarboxylic acid. Ectoin is a cyclic amino acid derivative produced by fermentation of halophilic bacteria. It is highly water-soluble, thermally stable and functions as an osmolyte that binds water around itself, which is why it is formulated into the water phase at low percentages.

Technical & procurement detail
What Ectoin is and what it does+
Ectoin is a cyclic amino acid derivative produced by fermentation of halophilic bacteria. It is highly water-soluble, thermally stable and functions as an osmolyte that binds water around itself, which is why it is formulated into the water phase at low percentages.
Water-phase, low-percentage, heat-tolerant+
Ectoin dissolves readily in the water phase and tolerates normal emulsification temperatures, so it is one of the simpler high-value actives to work into an existing formula. Typical use levels are low single-digit percentages; higher levels raise cost far faster than performance.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
