Biotechnology

White biotech 'Made in Germany'. For us, fermentation is the only way to create high quality products like medEctoin®, Ectoin® natural, Glycoin® and other extremolytes. This is officially certified: We hold both the ISO-13485 certificate for Medical Devices and the ISO-14001 certifying our state-of-the-art production facility as sustainable.

Ingredients

Welcome to the world of extremolytes. Extremolytes help microorganisms survive in the harshest conditions like in salt deserts, geysers or the bitter cold of the arctic. And we have found a way to make use of them in medical devices, skin care and life science products.

How it Works

medEctoin® is a technically straightforward ingredient. Strong stability, excellent solubility and suitability for various galenic forms facilitate rapid product development completion.
