Fermentation Ectoin Cosmetic Active Ingredient

ART-BS-003 fermentation ectoin is a biosynthetic fermentation ingredient for cosmetic active ingredient applications, including facial care, scalp care, sun-care-adjacent formulations, and premium hydration concepts. The material is typically specified by HPLC assay, appearance, water content, residue on ignition, pH, heavy metals, and microbiological limits. A representative specification may include assay ≥98.0%, loss on drying ≤1.0%, residue on ignition ≤0.5%, pH 5.0–8.0 in 1% aqueous solution, total aerobic count ≤100 CFU/g, and yeast and mold ≤50 CFU/g, with absence criteria for specified objectionable microorganisms.

Ectoin is highly water soluble and is normally incorporated into the aqueous phase during formulation. It is not a live culture and does not provide viable CFU functionality. For buyers comparing fermentation-derived materials, this SKU sits within our biosynthetic fermentation ingredients portfolio and is supported for technical review before scale-up. Bulk quote on request is recommended for annual contracts, distributor programs, and toll-manufacturing projects that require fixed pack size, lot reservation, or destination-specific documentation.

• Cosmetic actives: suitable for emulsions, gels, serums, essences, masks, lotions, and water-based concentrate systems where a high-purity ectoin grade is required.
• Personal-care manufacturing: designed for R&D teams and plant managers seeking controlled powder handling, repeatable solubility, and lot-specific quality records for batch release.
• Brand and contract manufacturing: can be evaluated in formulations positioned around moisturization, skin-conditioning, environmental-stress positioning, and premium ingredient storytelling, subject to local cosmetic regulations.
• Ingredient distribution: supplied in 5 kg foil pouches for B2B resale, sampling programs, and consolidation with other fermentation-derived ingredients.
• Formulation guidance: typical use levels are determined by the finished-product brief and regulatory market. Bench trials should confirm pH compatibility, sensory profile, preservative system performance, and packaging stability.

Store ART-BS-003 in the original sealed foil pouch in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Recommended storage is 15–25°C, protected from direct sunlight, standing water, high humidity, and strong odors. Keep the pouch tightly closed after opening and use clean, dry tools to avoid moisture uptake or cross-contamination. Under recommended storage conditions, a typical unopened shelf life is up to 24 months from manufacture, subject to confirmation on the lot-specific certificate of analysis.

The product should be weighed in a controlled powder-handling area using standard PPE appropriate for fine cosmetic powders. It is readily dispersible in water, but manufacturers should validate addition order, mixing temperature, and hold time in the final process. For commercial production planning, request lead time, carton configuration, palletization, and country-of-import document requirements through our bulk inquiry channel.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-BS-003 for specification-driven purchasing. Each commercial lot can be supported with a certificate of analysis covering identity, assay, appearance, moisture or loss on drying, pH, ash or residue limits, heavy metals where tested, and microbiological results. SDS, technical data sheet, allergen statement, non-animal origin statement, and food-safety or quality-system documentation may be provided when applicable to the order and destination market.

Manufacturing and release controls are aligned with documented quality procedures, with HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher documentation available on request where applicable. Buyers can review our documentation approach at quality and compliance. This ingredient is offered for cosmetic and industrial formulation review only; the buyer is responsible for verifying finished-product claims, local regulatory status, labeling, and permitted use levels before market launch.
