Ectoin Hydra Serum Mini
The same serum, in a smaller size. Enough to see how your skin responds before you commit to the full size.
You put moisturiser on in the morning, and a couple of hours later your skin feels tight again. It is not that the cream is too thin. It is that the barrier cannot hold water, so it leaves as fast as you put it back.
Ectoin Hydra Serum works on both. Ectoin is a molecule bacteria produce to survive extreme conditions. In skin it holds water in place, calms visible redness and shields cells from environmental stress, while three ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine rebuild the barrier that let the moisture out in the first place. Most people see calmer, more comfortable skin within four weeks.
You may have come across PDRN as salmon DNA. Ours is plant-based, like the rest of the formula, which is 100% vegan. With algae collagen it supports the skin's own renewal. Tremella mushroom and hyaluronic acid hydrate at several depths, and astaxanthin adds antioxidant protection on top.
The texture is a silky gel-cream that absorbs quickly and sits under makeup. Its soft pink tint comes from the formula itself, not from a colourant. Use it morning and evening.
It is fragrance-free, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and contains no ingredients that are advised against during pregnancy. Dermatologically tested on people with a history of allergy, without a single irritation reaction.
90.5% natural ingredients.
Benefits
Deep hydration for skin that feels dry and depleted.
Rebuilds a barrier weakened by stress, weather or overuse of actives.
Calms visible redness and sensitivity.
Protects against environmental triggers.
Silky, lightweight texture that absorbs fast and sits under makeup.
Dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types.
Apply a generous amount to clean skin after cleansing. This is a serum you do not need to ration.
HOW
Massage the serum in gently until fully absorbed. The texture is light and sinks in fast.
Follow with your moisturiser to seal the hydration in.
HOW OFTEN
Use the serum morning and evening. Once dry, it works under makeup.
Tested on this serum:
Zero reactions in 25 people with allergy-prone skin
Classified non-irritating in an accredited dermatological test
Clinically studied ingredients, at the doses we use:
48% less pollution damage than placebo treated skin, after five days
Water held in the skin for longer, with less lost through the day
Patch tested on 25 subjects with a history of allergy or atopy, semi-open and under dermatological control, read at 48 and 72 hours, irritation index 0.00. The pollution figure comes from a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 1% Ectoin, the same level we use here, in 6 volunteers, measured as a lipid peroxidation marker. Results vary from person to person.
Ectoin. A molecule bacteria produce to survive extreme heat, cold and dryness. On skin it holds water in place and shields cells from environmental stress.
Plant-Based PDRN. Supports the skin's own renewal process, without the salmon-derived origin PDRN is usually associated with.
Algae Collagen. Vegan collagen amino acids that improve suppleness and comfort.
Ceramide Complex. Ceramides EOP, NP and AP with cholesterol and phytosphingosine, rebuilding the barrier that lets moisture escape.
Tremella Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid. Hydrate at several depths and keep the skin plump rather than tight.

Materials and recycling
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
At least 50% of the plastic in our bottles and tubes is post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The rest is virgin plastic, and we work to bring that share down.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium that is itself recycled material. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it
Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean.
Glass bottles: glass.
Aluminium tubes: metal.
The carton: paper.
We are not there yet. Half of our plastic is still virgin, and that is the half we are working on.

think it seems to work well but need reapplication about mid day and moisturiser on top, Still get redness some days and not sure why, Get very red when adding the Canella Serum as step 4
I have very sensitive skin that is dry but prone to breakouts here & there, and this serum has been working amazingly for me! I've been using it for a few weeks and my skin is so much calmer, finally looks healthy. No breakouts and no greasy feel, this serum layers beautifully with other products.
Jeg har brugt den i knap 3 uger og ser og mærker en tydelig forskel. Desuden er serummet ekstremt lækkert at påføre.
Wow, wow, wow , viken fantastisk produkt. Redan efter några dagar är fukten i huden helt annorlunda. Underbar konsistens som ger en magiska känsla på huden. Jag är så imponerad.
Why it works
Dehydrated skin is not the same as dry skin. Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water, usually because the barrier has been compromised and cannot hold on to it. Piling on richer creams does not fix that.
This serum works on both halves of the problem. Ectoin holds water in the skin and protects it from further stress, while the ceramide complex rebuilds the barrier so the water stays there. Plant-based PDRN and algae collagen support the repair underneath. That combination is why it suits skin that reacts to almost everything else.
An extremolyte. Bacteria make it to survive in places where there is almost no water to be had. In skin it forms a shield of bound water around the cells, which is what defends against environmental stress, pollution and dehydration.
In a placebo-controlled study on the ingredient, five days of ectoin reduced a marker of pollution-induced damage by 48% compared with placebo-treated skin.
(Polydeoxyribonucleotide)
A low-molecular-weight DNA fragment, ours plant-based rather than taken from salmon. It supports the skin's own repair and renewal, the process the skin uses to replace what it loses over time.
A collagen alternative from marine algae, with none of the animal origin. Rich in amino acids, it supports elasticity, firmness and hydration, and leaves skin smoother and plumper.
A blend of skin-identical ceramides and barrier lipids. Ceramides sit in the outermost layer of the skin, where they work as the mortar between the cells: they lock moisture in and keep external stress out.
Replacing them improves hydration, supports elasticity and reduces visible dryness and irritation. With regular use skin feels smoother, stronger and more resilient.
A humectant, sometimes called nature's hyaluronic acid. It attracts water and holds it in the skin, so skin looks fuller and fine lines look shallower, and its antioxidants protect against free radical damage.
Something the skin already produces. Hyaluronic acid attracts water and holds on to it, so skin looks plumper and fine lines look shallower while it is there.
