Ectoine
Ectoin, chemically known as tetrahydromethymidine carboxylic acid/tetrahydropyridine, is a derivative of an amino acid that originated in a salt lake in Egypt. The molecules of ectoine, which are themselves highly absorbable and, more importantly, structurally special, act as "little shields" around the bacteria's DNA and proteins (enzymes), reducing the exposure of the intense uv rays in high-salt conditions. Its unique molecular structure makes it have strong water molecular complexing ability.
