What is it?

A new revolution in the battle against UVA-induced premature photo aging skin care has emerged from a natural substance found in the desert, Ectoin.  This micro-organism is used in Desert Youth for its ability to help protect against environmental factors that contribute to visible aging of the skin.  Youth enhancing, age defying and hydration combine in a dramatically intensive yet lightweight moisturizer suitable for all skin types.  Use it all year long. 

Why is it different?

Contains Ectoin – friendly bacteria found in the desert

• If Ectoin, a natural substance, can survive the heat and dryness of the desert imagine what protection it can offer your skin
• It’s like taking one of the toughest natural substances on the planet and using it to shield your skin
• Ectoin, discovered in halophilic bacteria, survives and grows under extreme conditions in salt lakes, sea water, and saline deserts while exposed to high doses of UV-irradiation, dryness, and extreme temperatures
• Ectoin offers holistic protection to the skin, acting as a ‘molecular chaperone’ to help support cell vitality, skin hydration and tone

Why is Ectoin™ important?

Cosmetic benefits to the skin.

  • helps supports skin elasticity

• Osmotic regulator

• • helps increase, sustain, and stabilize moisture content of the skin
  • addressing the moisture needs of aged, dry, irritated skin
