Extremolytes: fighting urban stress by the model of nature

In the past years, extremolytes became well-established active ingredients thanks to their special efficacy and characteristics.

These natural molecules, which are found in impressive microorganisms and plants, are used wherever skin and hair needs regeneration and repair or has to be protected from damaging stress factors such as dryness, pollution particles or visible light

Extremophilic microorganisms are a pretty wild bunch, boldly living on the edge. Extremophiles are so-called because they thrive in the most hostile environments one can imagine - so intensely hot, cold, salty, acidic, alkaline, pressurised, dry, radioactive, or barren that other creatures could not survive for a second. 

Belonging to the smallest and most ancient forms of life on earth, these primeval creatures have developed survival and protection strategies tried and tested over millions of years. Extremophiles accumulate osmolytes, special protection molecules, in their cells to adapt to their extreme habitats. These organic osmolytes from extremophiles are called ‘extremolytes’.
