WATEC® ECT is an amino acid derivate and belongs to a group of molecules called extremolytes, which are produced by extremophilic micro-organisms to survive in extreme environmental conditions, such as high or low temperatures, extreme pressures, and high salinity. Extremolytes protect the cells and biological macromolecules from damage by such external stresses. WATEC® ECT is a safe, highly stable, 100% natural (fermentation process) and multifunctional cosmetic active ingredient with outstanding cell protection and anti-aging properties. Its antioxidant property protects the Langerhans cells against damage from pollution and provides overall cellular protection.  It is highly hydrophilic and protects the skin from dehydration due to environmental exposure with long-term moisturizing ability. It has excellent anti-inflammatory effect, repairs and reinforces broken skin barrier, and prevents DNA damage from UV and visible light.

POLYCOS ECOGUM CLEAR is a 100% natural, non-ionic, and biodegradable biopolymer ideal for clear formulations. It offers excellent thickening, a smooth honey-like texture, and outperforms traditional hydrocolloids like Xanthan gum. This ingredient provides emulsion stabilization, restores skin moisture, hydrates hair and scalp, reduces static, and forms a protective barrier against environmental stressors—making it a sustainable, high-performance alternative for modern skincare and haircare.
