With medEctoin®, our products provide a gentle yet powerful solution that supports the body’s natural healing processes, ensuring safety, efficacy, and comfort for all users.
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.
Premium Quality Made in Germany
Our core competence is the production of Ectoin® natural and Glycoin® natural. Since our founding in 1993, the know-how, experience, and passion of our staff have nurtured us to what bitop is today: an expert in the biotechnological manufacturing of extremolytes.
