# Ectoin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/ectoin

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United States.

Topical ectoin visibly calms skin dryness, itching, and dermatitis while defending against irritation and oxidative stress. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well and is most commonly found in soothing creams. Because it layers easily, this gentle ingredient integrates smoothly into any daily routine.
